No no a leak down will tell you nothing about valve spring rate. If your valves are not seating then a leak down will show that but that's not the prob i'm referring to.

What happens when valve springs go soft is that the boosted intake charge can actually hold the valve open...the extra 20psi you are applying to the valve on top of all the other forces going on are enough that the rate can't counter it and the valve stays open and doesn't seal the combustion chamber. The fix is new or stiffer valve springs.

A mate with a 4AGTE suffered this exact prob recently. Big boost over 5K and the valves wouldn't seal. Less boost and/or less revs and no probs. The fix was new valve springs...his were just a bit tired.

You need to check the valve spring rate ie measure how much force it takes to compres them a certain amount and compare to the factory specs. i suspect this won't be easy with the valves in place but there may be a gauge to do this?
