Got the dealer to cover the boost leak I found under warranty>>
I posted regarding finding a boost leak at the hoses under the manifold, so I brought my car to the dealer today. Got them to do a smoke test to check for leaks and sure enough, the one I found turned up. Turns out my "suction jet pump" was leaking and they replaced it with a new piece:

The car is now leak-free, but I haven't had a chance to try out how boost is holding; bad traffic all the way home. Might take it for a spin later tonight.

I couldn't get the boost machine to hold boost steadily above 15psi>>
Changed both the temp sensor and MAF with no results so I pressure tested the system while doing FMIC and intake hose install and found a few leaks.
- small leak at the boost gauge tap
- small leak at the extension for the DV line from DV relo
- fairly big leak from under the manifold
Fixed the first 2 myself pretty easily since they wouldn't be covered by warranty, and decided to bring it in for the last one. Smoke test at dealership confirmed that it was the only other leak.
