Question Sudden Boost Drop!!! HELP!

I have had the car for about two months, and have had the mods for about 1 month. It has been pretty cold here, but suddenly warmed up today. For some reason, today my car would build up boost, then once in a great while, it would just suddenly drop, and i would hear a wierd whistle noise. This has never happened before and I have had some pretty long boost runs. Its really odd because the car just falls flat. It doesnt happen everytime, just once in a while. Any ideas?!?! I have cams here ready to install, but need to remedy this first.

Check your intake snorkle. Make sure the two clips are secure, or replace them. It happens to alot of people, and they have similar issues. Wouldn't hurt to check.

That's all it is - the clips. Get two from your trunk lining and use them.

Don't worry, you're not the first, and you sure as hell won't be the last.

Then go now and get clips from your trunk to fix it properly.

check your air tube around the air box, it might be loose sometimes.
