Were you under boost when you heard the pop? It sounds like you popped off an intercooler hose. Not a big deal at all. Keep a screwdriver and some extra hose clamps in your car incase it happens again.

If it was a hose, I bet it was the connector at the throttle body. I had mine pop off 2 or 3 times before I got it to stay.

 

ok.. hopefully thats it.. would that keep the car from running?? and this a normal occurance??

 

Yes, that would keep your car from running. If a pipe blow off, the air that is now going to be sucked into the engine won't go through the airflow sensor first, therefore, your engine has no idea what's going on, and it dies. This won't hurt a thing, assuming a bird or some foreign object didn't go into your motor where the hose came off

This is a pretty normal occurance with turbo cars. If you really want to keep hoses from blowing off, get yourself T-Bolt clamps to replace the worm screw clamps that come stock. T-Bolt clamps are a lot beefier and more resistant to coming loose and getting blown off.

 

it was an intercooler pipe. no need to worry

 

THANKS i feel a lot better now.. hehe think i should just go back to the dealer and check the hoses and drive my car home i miss it all ready!
