You check chargepipes for leaks or crack?

definitely looks like a boost leak. do you have the plastic charge pipes?

ssr performance chargepipes and air intakes

issue solved!!

the chargepipes and airintake were all good

the j pipe popped off the top mount cooler and was causing the boost leak

went to the dealer they did a smoke test and found the problem
connected the j pipe and car runs good now

i will be upgradeing the jpipe and going with VRSF v2 j pipe

Did you remove the coupler before or it just popped off after it was tightened at the factory?

This is why I don't tune car problems on a daily f8x are so annoying.
