Default Boost leak but where

Fitted an sti tmic as in previous thread and all was fine. Now today developed a boost leak (sounds like dentist drill). I removed cooler and checked all hoses tight and put back on. Its quieter but still there. Its got an aftermarket d.v on it that has been on since ive had car. Could it be this or the gasket? Its not a forge item it looks like a collins performance valve. Ive taken it off cleaned and put back on and still got the noise

Gasket behind the DV is quite commong for going and causing a leak, as far as I'm aware.
