You probably have a major boost. Start by checking all of the larges hoses running from the intake to the turbos and then from the turbos to the IC.
I must ask - why the word 'hella'. What does that even mean? I see it all the time.

I think you also meant "major boost leak". I agree - leak is the likely problem here.

Hella is one of the best word ever. You can use it every were. "Thats hella cool".
My friends car is doing this as well. But he has no boost leaks when we free rev the car in nutral. Also we have changed all the charge pipes and intercooler. Cant figure it out.

well I looked over the faqs here and it suggested the first place to look was the y pipe coupler, I just looked at mine and I dont even know how my car has been hitting 6 psi, the thing was about 1/2inch short of being in 2 pieces.
