Remove the Injectors and replace the seals on the head side of the injectors.

you don't have aftermarket cams, do you? Do a boost leak test.

We did a boost leak test for him a few days ago and found enough leaks that they had to be fixed to find the rest, I would guess corey is right, the injector insulators can go bad and leak. If you want to bring it in again, we can check it to find out where they are now.
