Don't taze me bro!
For those not in the loop, click here for the original thread.
So, after checking many things I finally got my hands on a home-built adapter that you can hook up to an air tank to pressurize the intake system. Got it hooked up today and thankfully it was exactly what I suspected, the endtank on the intercooler. It's a terrible design that uses plastic endtanks and small thin aluminum brackets bent around the edges to hold it on. I'm not sure what the fail point is but for now will lower the boost to closer to 20psi until I can find another FMIC that will fit these measurements.
So, thanks to everyone for the help and ideas as they helped. I'm glad that I found the problem and have a fix for it even if it's just a Band-Aid fix until I can find the solution. It sure beats having a blown head gasket too.
