Are you modded?
Thanks for the thoughts. No broken nipples as far as I can tell. Definitely an N54 - only a tune for modifications. This may change if I end up doing turbos .

I did do a little more testing this weekend. I pressurized the system to about 5 - 7 psi and looked for leaks. When I did so, I heard a large rush of air from the area of the turbos. Such a fun area to search for a leak... It does appear to be coming from the rear turbo - but not sure where. I recorded a quick video if anyone is interested. I put the phone where I could actually feel the air rushing out.
