The Boost leak P30FF

As many of you know I have a boost leak and after 4 shops, I was able to get it fixed! YAY!
We had to pull the FMIC and re-install it, the shop actually didn't think anything was wrong.

Here is that log after it was fixed. Stage 1 Aggressive ST 3k-6k 3rd and 4th Gear


Yesterday I installed my downpipes and went to stage 2 Cobb. And guess what, Its right back to where it was.

Stage 2 Aggressive 3000-6000k 3rd gear



I have spoken with Rob, at Cobb (he is great) and like I said, 4 "euro" shops and nobody can find this.

Any new Ideas.

What FMIC do you have? You should just have a boost leak test done pressurized to 20 psi.
