was on my way to work this morning driving the car as normal, floored the pedal to pass a car and realized ive lost 10lbs of boost and car is running ****ty at high rpm. it def sounds like an air leak is causing the veh to loose boost. i checked and resecured my UPIC and intake clamps, no visible problems there. checked some of the basic vaccum lines, no visible problems there.

anyone know what this might be due to??

any ideas on what i should check next??

is it possible my stock BOV is leaking??

wastegate issue??

my mods are UPIC, intake, TBE, cobb AP stg2 (usually running about 27psi)

im trying to avoid a trip to the dealership.

any insight will help guys, im ****ting a brick right now as my car only has 1,500 miles on it.

 

Could this be the crazy hose to the FPR sliding off?

You would def know if there is a big boost leak from a hose clamp coming off. The sound of the air leaking is very loud.

 

where is the FPR hose located?

im getting a fairly loud air leak sound, but not THAT loud.

 

Is your idle bad? I don't think it is the hose problem but it won't hurt to check. Do you know where the fuel rail is? It's all the way to the left on the rail. There is a little hose that slides on to the FPR it comes off sometimes and really need to be ziptied but i think that the 2010's already some with it tied up.

 

I guess just check all the hose clamps on your UICP and LICP again. I know that you've prolly never touched the LICP tho. Did you check both clamps where the Upper pipe connects to the intercooler. The lower clamp can definitely be hard to tighten if you aren't taking the bumper off.
