yes the problem is a leak

BUT

it's from your BOV...

the stock bov CANNOT be vented to atmosphere..

by design it lets air leak throught it slightly...

remove the BOV plug the hole and go for a spin..

or temporarily recirculate it

Ummmmm, BOV isn't the problem. I've been using it like this since last year. But whatever, I'll give it a shot.

"ABS can be used between -25°C and +60°C."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABS_plastic

60C is about 140F.
Pre-IC intake air temps can hit 200F+ easily.
That's 100C+!

You're asking for trouble if in fact you're using ABS...

Do you think a muffler shop would be able to mimick those bends with their pipe benders?

Ok, pulled the BOV and it only got slightly better, so I'll just vent it back before the turbo now. On a side note, it still flutters, so it's either compressor surging or wastegate flutter.

How many stock turbo systems go over 10psi?

perhaps the install was a coincidence?

u could just disconnect the FMIC's hot pipe at turbo, and the turn the cold elbow back up... put the stock TMIC back on, and take it for a quick spin..and see what happens.. shouldn't take long... u don't have to take the FMIC all the pipes off or anything... just enough to get the TMIC back on...

if it's ur WG or ur BOV the problem will be still there..

otherwise we narrow it down to the FMIC+piping...

HOME DEPOT RACING!

anyways... that bend around the battery looks like it could be part of the problem.
