I had this problem, too and I figured it out only by trying to find out why my clutch booster wasn't working. The clutch booster must also be able to bleed off boost pressure on its own...which is why you hear the boost leak sound so close to the firewall and on the drivers' side.

Can you guys explain a little more? I'm also having a wooshing boost leak somewhere. Can you show me exactly where you are talking about?

The other thing is, my car HOLDS 13.5 PSI, but it feels like I have a little less power.
