today driving home i accelerated pretty good getting on the high way. something didnt sound right with the air flow almost the it was flowing too good. so i was playin with it.. then i punched it and it when my boost kicked in the car gave a good loud rattleing noise and the car bucked with loss of power. my question is could this be a symptom of a leak on the intake. i checked all my ic piping and everything seems nice and tight. and with a little pull the intake came off. i cant even get it back on its pretty nasty inside. it would stay put. do you guys thing that could of been the problem? thanks for the help

 

fuel cut? spark blowout? boost leak? you should do a boost leak test physically though, not visually. the air noise sounds like a boost leak, however if the intake was hanging off the turbo barely it could def cause issues with the MAF.

put the intake back in place and see if your issues are resolved..
