Air Leak?

Yea we thought so to but we dint find any u think he shld re dyno tunne it the only thing is that it has a lot of miles around 180

he should have dyno tuned it from the beginning... but it does sound like an exhaust/air leak. How does the boost gauge read when he takes off? Is it building boost right off?
