Folks, just realised there is a small crack in my turbo inlet coupler hose. It is the coupler just before the turbo (right after intake and BOV).

The car felt sluggish and seems to lose lots of power.

I will be replacing the coupler tomo.

Since this is just before turbo and not exactly a boost leak, will it had bigger consequences and damage the engine? The only problem I can think of is car running too lean since there is more air then the MAS detected that since the leak is right after it.

Comments?

 

agreed. your car might also stall at idle, especially before the car is warmed up. If you just drive off boost until it's fixed, you shouldn't have any issues IMO.
