after searching for my boost leak, and being unsuccessful in finding it, i took it to the mechanic who found out that the wastegate actuator arm was broken.  that wasn't too bad ...

...

after further investigation, they found that there were several cracks in the hot side of the turbo. 

ever since i bought it it must have been boosting only 1.4psi.

i now have a new turbo.  with ACTUAL boost - no more 1.4psi.  it's the full 7psi of raw boosting power *home improvement grunt x 3*
