Long term at -14% and short term at 7% right as I pulled into a parking lot.

Something is occurring with my car as these are the same symptoms I experience at the end of last year. Is it possible the OEM gaskets cannot hold the boost pressure and create tears if feeding too much throttle? I know which road this will take me with these symptoms.

I'm not sure what else to do at this point except keep replacing the intake manifold gasket every 3 weeks...
Have you pressure smoke tested the car?
