no boost above 5psi

no boost above 5psi
ok guys, I took my intake manifold apart to get to a leaky injector which I swapped out. No problem. I carefully put everyting back together the way it was and drove out of the shop. I'm running non sequential stock twins and now my car is not boosting above 5psi. Sounded like a vacuum leak to me so I checked all the vacuum hoses I disconnected. I also sprayed propane around the manifold itself to make sure there were no vacuum leaks. I found nothing. Any ideas what else the problem could be (the car ran fine on the way to the shop)? Any ideas on how else to find a vacuum leak?

If it sounds like a vac leak than it probably is.. are you sure you put the rats nest back together exactly as it was? Have you double checked all the couplers around your IC? Could have loosened one w/o thinking about it, than forgot to re-tighten (I did that once...).

thanks for your imput, everyone. I checked all the vacuum hoses today and it is all where it was before. I was super **** when I took the manifold apart. I put different color tape on each vacuum hose and its respective connection. I also put plastic over the open intake ports to prevent dirt from getting in to my engine. There is a manual boost controler and I opened it up some more today. No luck with any of this. When my car idles the vacuum is at a steady 19in. I'm out of things to try
