Turbo problems HELP me out please!!!
OK heres the problem. Yesterday I had to drive on a dirt road for a little while. I drove really super slow then when I finally got off of it I opened it up a bit. I heard a weird sound and then noticed the secondary was not hitting. Boost would just start to drop after about 4-5 RPM. I also noticed a really funny sound aftrer I would let off the gas after being up in the RPM's it kind of sounded like a moo, which makes me think it could be something with the intake. So I checked it out on the road and noticed that one of the hoses to the intake had blown off. I put it back on thinking that I had fixed the problem. Well it didn't, so I am going to go outside and start pulling off stuff hoping that some line just blew off. Any advice would really help. Are my turbos going bad you think? I have 63000 miles.

Turbos could be wearing out but I doubt it. You could have a million problems bc the hoses are so complicated in there. Which hose blew off? If the main intake hose blew off then I would be worried about sucking some dirt and crap into the turbos.
Hope this helps alittle.

one of the small little hoses blew off not the one that goes to the BOV but the other one. I just took every thing off and put it back on some things needed to be tightened a bit but I'm not sure if that will be it, im crossing my fingers. Im gonna go out and test it out now I'll let you all know. Also with the weird sound do you think it could be a BOV leak? I have the screw in perty far should I losen it out a bit?

OK just took it out for a test. Still same thing, it seems like its pulling maybe a little better. It makes a weird sucking noise too when your like at 6-7 RPM. Then when you let off it still makes that moo sound. Should I maybe put in those two restrictor pills that came with the intake? Thing is Ive never used those and it ran fine up until yesterday. Im gonna check some other things. What should I do if I cannot figure it out at all. I REALLY dont wanna take it to a dealer.

someones gotta know something, My secondary turbo is not boosting right. The boost just drops slowly. This has to of happened to some one out there. I'm running out of ideas on what it could be.
