1) Wrong forum!!!! (It shouldnt be in Lancer forums AND DEFINITELY shouldnt be in show and shine)
2) Boost leak
3) To find boost leak, get an air compressor or a tank of air, a valve stem, some silicone, plastic cap and a silicone hose BOTH big enough to fit around the turbo and some hose clamps. drill a hole in the cap and put the valve stem in there and silicone around it. put the pieces together and pump 28 psi of gas into the turbo. now listen for hisses
