You need to find where the leak is coming from. If its a hose, replace it. If its a coupling, tighten it. Do you have a boost leak tester? They can be made pretty simple from parts from Home Depot. Buy a 2" PVC cap, 2" rubber coupling (they come with band clamps) and a shrader valve.

Which belt is making the squeak? For your own benefit, posting "da" instead of "the" and "t8k" instead of "take" really doesn't save you any energy, and makes it harder for people to decode and answer your questions. Not trying to be rude, just letting you know.

i agree and it just makes you sound not smart. this isnt a text message. and how do you know it has a boost leak if you havent tested it yet? did the previous owner tell you it did? the belt it probly just old and needs to be replaced, or it could be the tensioner. if it is too loose it will make the belt squeak.

not sure what this belt is called but its the one that you can see when you pop the hood. located to the left of the engine. Im guessing im going to have to replace it. Iv tried spraying it but that only fixes it temporarily. anyone know around how much changing it would cost? thanks everyone.

Well if your friend who works on SRT's does it for you then it depends on how much she wants for labor. The belt can't be more than $20
