Message going to be some leak down. Even on a tightly sealed system there is going to be some very minor leaks do to the nature of the machined tolerances of the parts involved. Mine drops from 5 psi as follows:
4 psi @ 15 seconds
3 psi @ 25 seconds
2 psi @ 40 seconds
1 psi @ 60 seconds
0 psi after about 90 seconds

Obviously you want to eliminate any larger leaks. However, the goal is not to seal the system air tight; but rather tight enough so that your turbos are easily capable of maintaining the 13-15 lbs of boost desired.
