A bit of paranoia is good w/ a turbo car, but just a bit, don't go crazy on us

I'm not sure how to explain the sound, but whatever sounds like wind in the video is my bov. It's just like the psh sound when I let off the gas, but it's continuous and gets louder, and if I don't let off the gas, eventually my check engine light pops on.

Well since logging cannot be done, are all your hoses connected? Sounds like a hose coming off your By-Pass Valve came loose. Check that.



Check anything loose coming off part #17. Make sure everything is tight and properly connected. Maybe get a friend to hit the gas in neutral to build boost while you are by the engine to try and identify where the sound is coming from?
