ORIGINAL: PSI Chick
i've seen it leak on plenty of cars. on most it will, some it won't. personally i'm not going to take the risk. i had the plate, and i took it off. we then put it on a friend's car and we leak tested both cars. we both held 20psi with no problems, but when the air hose was taken off his boost dropped like a rock while mine stayed with a slow, steady decline. i am glad i removed it, and i'll never put it back on after seeing the difference in a pressurized system. i could hold boost, he couldn't, that's all i needed to see.

I pressure tested my car for the first time today. No leaks out of the rice plate, but I had three other leaks. Hot and cold side of the FMIC and the hose that comes off of the back of the turbo. It deffinatly holds boost longer now that I tightened the leaks up.
