Ok I TRIED to do a boost leak test today but something went wrong. I had my compressor set to 20 PSI and it was definitly flowing into my system but not only would by boost gauge not even flinch, I couldn't see or hear any leaks at all. It was almost as if the pressure was just venting as fast as It could go in. I am completely stumped as to what happened. I tried it with a bike pump too and still the same. my Boost leak tester was not leaking so i dunno? ANY IDEAS?

That'd be your boost controller. You're supposed to disconnect it before testing a leak, because that's essentially all a boost controller is; a leak. It looked like it was holding a constant pressure as you were pumping air in, which would be another sign that it's the boost controller, too.

I don't gotta cut the bumper support, or any of the bumper. Thats the biggest you can get without doing that. Its good to 450 hp well above my turbo's capabilities. PLus its a fuck of alot bigger than the stocker@!
