Noted, definitely won't be blindly replacing the whole system; CP was on my list of mods regardless and the boost solenoid had 100k on it and was an extremely easy replacement for less than $100, figured, why not?..

Boost leak tester seems like a great tool to have though, seriously considering making one. However, I am really trying to determine how patterns in the log could indicate what type of leak exists. For example, the relationship between wastegate duty cycle % and potential leak locations, if one even exists.

How did you determine you had a boost leak to begin with?
