Finding boost leak?

Mike, I have had similar problems, sometimes the only solution is to pull 
every hose and inspect it yourself.  Also, check vacuum hoses, esp. to the 
brake booster and crankcase vent., sometimes a one way valve will blow out 
and cause trouble too.

<< Hey guys,
 I need some help. I have a large leak in the intake system, but only in
 boost. The car runs fine in vacuum, in boost I can hear a large leak. It
 isn't the turbo whistle that is supposed to be there. Then when I shift
 there is a big woosh like a blow off valve would produce. The thing that
 baffles me, I pressurized the intake plumbing, and I could not find a leak
 even with 10psi! Anybody have any ideas?
 Thanks
