    the plugs might have 10k miles on them. I will pull them and take a look at them.
    [doublepost=1498512035][/doublepost]I Installed them in August 2016. I don't put a lot of miles on my car though.

    another thought- is there a rag or something stuck in the intercooler from when you fixed the coolant leak? (not sure if you're TMIC).

    I have the Cobb FMIC and no rags etc in the piping. I am going to test the EBCS once again and do another boost leak test tonight. I have already done these but I am at a complete loss for what could be causing this.

    I'd have your tuner take a look at your logs. He might have some insight.

    Tested ebcs and when pressure to the ebcs the wg opened. Powered the solinoid and it shut quickly.

    Strange. Do have an EGR delete? Maybe check the port that gets blocked off on manifold? Also have you visually inspected the couplings to ensure there isn't a very small hole? I've heard stories about bad couplers but they were okay with boost leak tests.

    I do have the EGR delete and the plug is secure. I boost leak tested tonight and found no issues.
    [doublepost=1498611529][/doublepost]In another troubleshooting idea. I unplugged the WG lines all together and did a log (I of course started out slow before actually doing a log) here are the results.

    19 max pressure and 1.7 load etc. Same as before I replaced my CHRA

    Can you post pictures of where the coolant leak was? Also I would recommend visually inspecting the couplings instead of just trusting a boost leak test. @monkey.bones.007; had a rather large cut in a boost tube but every thing appeared fine during a boost leak test.

    Coolant leak was right above the tip to turbo coupler. I have a T in the coolant line coming from the egr. The lines were just old and had gotten brittle. I replaced the one that feeds the turbo to the T.

    Also have you tried swapping the map sensor with a known working one? When my corksport failed boost was bouncing all over the place but the car felt normal.

    Here is a picture of the lines I replaced when I originally worked on the car. [​IMG]

    Plugs looked fine and boost leak tested to 30psi. Nothing found.

    Inspected couplers as well and they showed no damage.
