I have an exhaust leak when I'm building boost.....I can only get around 10 lbs of boost before the exhaust leak takes over and I can't build any more boost. When idling, I can't hear the leak anywhere....therefore it's tough for me to find. Any suggestions on finding an exhaust leak that only is noticeable under boost conditions?

How do you know it's an exhaust leak? Could it be intake related? Hose collapsing, loose, or split open?

just replaced all lines with silicone vac lines....and pressure tested with no leaks....plus, it has the normal "tap, tap" exhaust leak sound when boosting....it pulls hard up to 10lbs, but then the "tap, tap" occurs which causes it to stay at 10lbs....
