Vacuum/boost leak is the culprit. The gasket in between the plenum and the runners had a blow out. Hopefully that's the only leak. I'll double check again after the gasket has had time to make itself at home. I did a compression of 14psi and after I took off the air hose off, it dropped down to 0psi in a matter of seconds. My rigged up end cap blew off at one point of time and I swear to God, a confettied $50 bill blew out. I was appalled and couldn't believe it!
