If so... no worries, just a funny picture to post.
It's the compressor housing itself unfortunately. Bubbles are actually walking toward the tester away from the turbine. I can't hear / feel any air, but it sure can double as a bubble machine.

At redline I'm seeing a drop to about 7.1 psi from a max of 8. Might explain the drop off in power I see on the dyno.

If I remember correctly, the GT28s have no O ring; bolts are definitely snug. High temp RTV seems to come highly recommended.
