i checked over my intercooler piping and everything and it seems to be fine.. but i hear a hissing in my car by the intake manifold that clearly sounds like a vacuum leak but i looked all over and see nothing.. the sound if you get close enough sounds like its coming from inside the motor almost..and also my car wont pull at boost.. ill see my gauge going up and hear my turbo spooling and when i shift hear it blow off and everything.. but the volume of boost is not making it into the motor i dont think.. im gonna guess its that hissing but im not sure.. any ideas.??

Boost leak tester to locate the leak? You probably have a hose that leaks only when boost enters it. You can squeeze the hoses and see if any cracks appear in them.

Does it idle ruff, or puff excessive black smoke out the exhaust at WOT? It's normal to run a bit rich since it is a Supra, but if it idles ruff or dies or fluctuates RPM's a lot then you definately have a leak in your system.

Try replacing all the small hoses near the intake manifold, as there are a ton and that way you'd know if it was from there or not, GOOD LUCK sorry I'm not more helpful.
