Default help!!! massive boost leak

I did the pressure test, but could not find the leak. I check all the host and it seem to be fine. I even check TBB and change out the old BPV to new one. for some reason it still a leak some where and my car won't hold boots at full throttle. What else can be done beside take it to a shop ?

Default If you pressure tested and didn't hear anything, there is no massive boost leak.

Maybe your problem is not a leak... Bad N75? Software problem (limp mode)? Have you checked the codes or logged the car? Those will tell you a lot.

Default then how do I keep get boost bounce on and off from 21 to 10 psi ?

when I pressure test. all the air is escape to some where because my air tank keep getting empty. I remember when I did the pressure test previously, air stay in the system

A bad N75 can cause big boost fluctuations, but I'd log to get a better idea.
