So looks like I may be dropping my transmission myself. I called Danny's in Harrisonburg and he wasn't really interested in touching the car. He pointed me to Blue Ridge Trans but he's backed up at least a month and couldn't recommend anyone else in the area that could do it. My guess is that when I drop the car off I probably won't see it for a least a week or 2 considering his waitlist is only like 5 cars. I would be bugging the original trans builder but he's way out in Illinois. I've already narrowed it down to the front band for the most part and taking the trans out would mean I could figure out if the leak in my bellhousing is coming from the vent or the front seal and save me a lot of money. Worse case scenario it'll be much easier to take somewhere if I get in over my head.
Not too worried about tearing into it but getting it out might be expensive. Probably a good time to invest in a Quickjack system and I'd probably have to get a low profile transmission jack. I'll also need something like a Mityvac since there's no drainplug on the trans anywhere. The only shitty part about actually getting it out is getting to the top 2 bolts and having to remove the starter with the headers in the way ... again.
Throwing in the towel with the Ralliart. I'm not so sure the leak is happening at the intercooler anymore. It's not blowing any bubbles when I leak test it but the sound is still there. It could be the BOV or any of the smaller hoses running everywhere but I'm not seeing anything. Really sucks I can't get the damn thing to make any noise in the driveway because I'd probably find it in 2 seconds as loud as it is. Not sure where I'm taking it but I'm done with it for now.
