Went to atco today to do a few runs. On my 4th run I believe while still at WOT, I heard something "whooshing". Everything looked fine and hooked up. On the way home however, everytime I got on WOT the air/whosshing/whatever it is would always be there. Checked my boost gauge while it was present but no sign of a leak. I had a constant 19-20 psi from Bryans map...anyone have any ideas? Car is running fine, but Im curious where this leak may be...thanks everyone!

 

I would think you should be running more than 19-20psi of boost with the upgraded GST boost pill at WOT, so maybe some is leaking?

 

Idk I keep hearing it at WOT, Im gonna take the bumper off to see what it may be and to tighten everything. Im hoping it isnt the stock intake or any housing. Could it possibly be my BPV? Maybe the spring broke lol..

 

Bump. Still have this problem up until now. Only on wide open throttle. I just cant tell where its coming from.

I thought it was my licp-intercooler connection but i placed a new coupler on there. Then I thought it was my bpv but i just bought a new aftermarket one and its still there.

So im still clueless. I think Im still hitting peak boost but that air is still whooshing somewhere. Could it possibly the intake system just isnt all snug properly? Idk what else to do except put it on a dyno so i can actually try to listen and search while its a WOT. Any tips, suggestions or ideas would be helpful. Thanks guys

 

Do a boost leak test, it will tell you exactly where it is leaking from, if at all.

 

does it sound like your BOV? Try re-tighten all clamps. It happened to me after I installed my UICP.
