Help me find a boost leake

[mtl]

Help please, i have a boost leak somewhere round the drivers side TB, but i cant find it, i can hear it with a boost leak tool, just cant find the darn thing. checked the pipes, the clamps everything yet i can still hear it. Anyone know what to check round that way?

Checked the Vac hose just under the inlet to the TB?

Cheers duffer, but yes i have and Stu replaced it with bling :D too just to be sure

Hokey dokey, next, do you still have the stock boost solenoids?

[mtl]

Yep, got them! still!

Bugger. Only other one for now is from the metal pipes (vac lines) that run along the drivers side of the plenum, one of them has a hose to the turbo inlet pipe - check that is on ok.

You sure you're not just hearing the air whistle through the throttle plate?

Could be the TB/Plenum gasket ?

it does sound as though it was coming out just below the throttle boddies just around where the pcv hose plums into the tub plastic pipe, but we checked that as well and still couldn't find it :(.
