Default Help with Bosst leak... I think

Recently acquired a Stage 3 A4, and I am a noob with Turbo's, so please bear with me. Oh, I have STFA already as well.
Heres the deal:
When I get past 12psi, the car makes a fluttering noise, and instantly looses pressure and power.
I have checked the hoses that I can reach, and currently have GFB BPV, so i dont think it could be that. All local shop are booked for at least a week, so i am looking for other things I can do that might help. I have also tried soap/water trick to no avail. People have reccomended a pressure tester, but not for over 7psi which I have no prblem holding.

Any Ideas??

Default Is the GFB valve you have adjustable?

If so it might be too soft and opening when it gets to 12psi.
