I built a boost leak tester today with a buddy, and we used it on his car with no problems. My car (volvo s70 t5 5-speed) won't pressurize AT ALL. It's just blowing air out from somewhere and we can't figure out where. Car drives fine on the street though, 19lbs of boost... anyone with any ideas?

check all the couplers, and charge pipes. and look for leaks at the throttle body and intake mani...

Where are you placing the boost leak tester? If your not doing so already throw it on the charge pipe coming off the turbo

If you bring it in we can smoke test it and find the leak.
