Default 14 PSI and rush of air sound = boost leak correct???

We're thinking of just upgrading all the hoses to Samco...that "should" take care of it correct?

Just for clairification, APR chip and 710N's are all that's not stock.

TIA

Make sure the PCV port is capped off tight and that you have the oil cap off.

You may want to find the boost leak first before you spend the money on Samco. Maybe it's something else.

p.s.
I hear air rushing out of the oil cap hole. Make sure you are not mistaking that with a boost leak.

P.S. - Blue Samco hoses are they fastest, right?
