help, no boost but hear turbos spooling
I just got my car back and on the way home from the shop I heard a "pop" from the passenger side and then I got no boost. I'm going to call the shop tomorrow, but wanted to see if was an easy fix so I don't have to take it back. I hear the turbos spooling, but no boost. Did I bust the y-pipe or a hose? I checked the map sensor ...it's ok.

I forgot to tighten up the hose going to the intake elbow the other day and as soon as I got on it... POP! and no boost...
good thing all it took was a screwdriver to fix and she was all business after that!

It has to be in the intake line. PULL OFF!! the coupler from the Y-Pipe to the IC's and check for cracks. You might not see it while its on the car.
Hope it helps,

I like what i read on the forum once:
Take a wet/dry vac, stick it in 1 of the intake pipes, plug up all the other hoses that connect to the intake with tennis *****, etc. Set that thing on blow and listen/feel for where the leak is.

You might find it there, I didnt, we have some shitty pepboys and advance though. You can order offline or since PFS was right next to my house I went up there and got one. You could also try any performance auto shop. Make sure its the problem before you get it though.
