Can't find a boost leak
So on my 99 I hooked up a boost tester and I have a huge leak somewhere between the egr and fuel rail area from the underside (maxing out at 5 psi). The egr tube is cut and filtered and its not leaking from there. I also just replaced the vacuum line with the check valve hidden under the upper intake, and its not from the fuel injectors. Can the egr leak and it not be through the tube? Any other ideas?

Intake manifold gasket? You egr block isnt as good as you think? Are you 100% sure it isnt the injector seal? Master cylinder hose?

I built a boost leak tester, just cant figure out exactly where the sound is coming from.

How are you verifying all of the intake valves are closed?

Get a piece of hose, like vacuum hose, stick one end in your ear and probe with the other end to listen for the leak. You'll be able to hear exactly where the air is going.

Well, I ran a smoke test and smoke poured out of the body of the egr. I didn't have time to test further, but hopefully that's the only issue.
