*runs to garage, cuts hole in crotch of TBB, starts car, WOT, DAMNIT...... 2 lbs of boost*
I'm fairly certain the answer is no.
Did you mean overboosting...... as in the turbos are spinning much faster to try and create boost to compensate for the boost leak?
He's talking about the car making far more Psi than it should be.

What is your N75 duty cycle? If it's very low and you're still overboosting you probably have a
leak in your wastegate line or a bad wastegate actuator. But yes, a boost leak can cause overboost but not usually 19psi when your code is requesting 8.
