I also thought it was the boost hose and that's why I replaced the stock one with the upgraded unit from Forge Motorsports. I have a good, tight seal there and really no change to the leak that I'm hearing. I can't see it clearly, but I'm operating under the assumption that I have a cracked exhuast manifold- the sound is loudest in that area and when I put my face close to the area to get a better listen I get fumed with exhaust gas. I've ordered a new cast iron manifold from X8R and will see if that solves the problem. When I start taking parts off to get better access to the area I will have a better view of other hoses or parts that may be cracked.
