So I'm thinking I have a boost leak somewhere because my turbo sounds like a jet taking off when it spools up and it's not pulling evenly through the rpms. I notice a lot in 3rd getting on the freeway. The car will start to pull and then it will pull really hard (normally around 10psi) and will sometimes hesitate at high rpms. In first and second I can here what seems to be the turbo spooling but normally don't see or feel any boost until 3rd and through this gear and 4th it screams. I can get the car to boost in 2nd but I have to floor it...makes me think I have a leak somewhere. Are there any other causes for this issue? Plus I think I'm running a little lean

your seeing 14-15:1 under full boost, after ~4k rpm?
if so, tahts really bad, and the reason your hesitating prolly. (if thats the case, your more than likely knocking) i would look for leaks from the head to the manifold, or manifold to turbo ect. thats more than likely where your leak is coming from, and why you can hear the turbo spool so well. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
