Finally got around to pressure testing the boost hoses. Hooked up my home made pressure tested and filled the system with about 20psi and immediately heard a hissing coming from the wastegate. Turns out the hose from the WGFV to the WG had become hard and brittle and was leaking under the clamp at the banjo bolt. $3.00 and 15 minutes later, no more leaks. Possibly the easiest fix I've ever done. Still waiting for my new expansion tank and p/s pump before I can test drive it, but I'm confident that this was the cause of the WOT troubles. Will post results as they come in...

what he said... LOL... if they were all that easy this place wouldn't exist. Just goes to prove though how the smallest leak in the wrong place can cause a lot of frustration.
