Default it's normal, but find out where you are losing pressure 10psi is enough, put your hand
around the normal areas TBB, IC pipes etc.

Pressure is going to leak from that plastic pieces that you unplugges from the Ypipe

Default It is normal- you should remove the oil cap. Remember you are pressurizin the crank case too....
you know if you really have a boost leak it will be obvious.
