Double check your FMIC and LICP as well by attaching your tester into the turbo inlet. At one point my turbo to j pipe gasket and FMIC were leaking. I have also had the freeze plug on the passenger side of the IM leak from popping it out when I did a light porting (used some RTV right stuff to seal it since I needed it sealed ASAP). Also, if you're not aware, zip tie every vacuum line where it meets a barb; especially the EGR lines. Regarding the injector seals, I use a dab of dielectric grease on them and never had a problem until recently. Recently one or two of the injector seals started to leak during a BL test so I took to EvoM. Apparently, during BL test, since the car is not on, obviously there is zero fuel pressure; and it just so happens that the fuel pressure helps seat the injectors 100%. Now take that with a partial grain of salt. I noticed mine leaking late at night and didn't want to yank the fuel rail since I had to wake up for work in the morning, so I made sure to monitor the rail and pay attention if I smelled any gas when getting into boost the next morning. One of two times I smelled fuel so i pulled over but found zero traces. It was hard to say if it was from my injectors or from some POS car on the road with a fuel leak... Anyways, that was early April and I haven't yanked the rail since then and have had ZERO problems. Even ran a 12.6 in early May. Just my .02
It still ran great. I didnt even know I had leaks. I guess they werent bad enough to make a difference with driveability. I figured that since I was tearing things down I might as well go through and double check things and make them right

Thanks for this comment
How did it run with with the he leaks
