Now Im happy !

The car was running good now its running great! You know it was only reading 2 lbs of boost at the gauge so I thought maybe the gauge just wasnt working correctly, nope. I took a can of either and sprayed the intake, throtle body, each individual piece of duct work and then it happened. Vrooooom, ah a leak. So I worked on what I thought was the leak for about 2 hours but it still would rev when I hit it with either. I finially figured out that the either was misting the next junction(see pic). The pipe somehow got a flat spot in it. So I used a big socket with an OD that matched the ID of the duct work and knocked it back round. Had a pic of that but my camera died. The car runs like factory now, just purrs. It has a much more sensitive throtle now that boost comes on much sooner since its not venting into the atmosphere.
My wife reminded me why I married her the other day when I was working on the car on our anniversary. She said "I cant wait to hear how this sounds" talk about support.

How in the heck did I miss that? Oh wait I know three straight days under the car!
