BOV got louder?

i was driving the other day and i popped a coolant line so i replaced it and then filled my radiator with coolant again then the next day i was driving and when i got into boost my turbo/waste gate was making a louder noise... i took a look under the hood to see if any vacuum lines were unhooked and as i presumed i saw nothing out of the ordinary... other problem is sometimes if i rev high like to 6000 to 7000rpms my car sputters out when i let off throttle... the revs go down and once they get to 1000 it drops and dies... it has only done this twice now so not sure of problem... any help on any of these problems would be great help.

reach your hand next to the turbo, if you can feel hot air coming out as compared to the rest of the engine (immediate temp difference) you probably are lookin at a gasket leak, aka you blew a gasket on your turbo lol my friend did the same thing in his 240, if this is the problem then your lucky and theyre pretty easy to fix you just have to replace the gasket itself

First pressure test for boost leaks. www.boostpro.net/prodtester.html (universal tester) or make your own out of home depot stuff.
