"Next thing, on the first piece of metal boost piping that connects right off of the compressor side of the turbo only had 1 bolt attached to it and was simply dumping massive amounts of boost out of the crack"
How does it "seem" to be the passenger side? I know Jason already answered you, but I am curious how you reached that conclusion. It "seems" to me that you are desperately searching for reasons that exonerate UltimateZ. First, you say the balance tube. When that crashes and burns you bring up the boost leak (which probably wouldn't be big enough to act as a BOV anyway). Without ANY mention of which side (which you do acknowledge) you say that it seems to be the PS.
