The issue I find with a leak is that I do not see how it would cause a spike. The wastegate actuators are vacuum operated and default to open. So the DME (or PROcede) has to try and keep them closed otherwise no boost is made. A leak in the vacuum lines shoulc cause the system to build boost more slowly or not at all. My boost builds very quickly; too quick I suppose.
