check your stock intercooler piping, its been known to fail at just about every joint along it. Also, I'd check all your vacuum lines in/out of the N75, and any other ones you might feel so inclined to check.

make a pressure tester!

What I did was, i got a pvc end plug, drilled a hole in it and put a tire air valve in. then hook that up to a scrap coupler and tie that down to the turbo inlet.

crank up the compressor and fill your system w/ about 15lbs of air and listen for your leak.

makes searching for leaks a snap..
