Question Pen Hole and Lose of Power
The other day I decided to pressure up the intercooler hoses to see if I had a leak with about 6 to 7 psi and found a small pen hole leak. Would that cause any power loss at higher boost?

If its a small leak at 6-7 psi, it'll be a large leak at higher boost.

The actual change isn't that great, that I've experienced. I had a 1/4" hole in my intercooler. That being said, it all adds up, and it doesn't do you any favours.

I was coming back from the desert towing my TH and at one time I was pushing 20 psi thinking that leak has to be bigger now.
