So I was out driving a few minutes ago, and just ran into a strange issue. Whenever I go into boost, I hear a loud whooshing noise, almost like the air conditioning going on full blast, but louder. I also think the car go slower. I didn't test going WOT because I didn't want to mess up the car so I drove under 3K rpm's all the way home. It drove fine as long as I didn't boost. Any idea what this could be? Piping coming loose or something else?

 

Possibly your UICP. I know I heard the same loud whooshing sound when getting into boost when I didnt fit and tighten my UICP properly.

 

+1, sounds like loose charge piping.

 

Yeah, it was one of the clamps on the UICP that came loose. Thanks for the help.

Got another problem now. I tightened the clamp down, but now I hear a high pitched squealing/squeaking noise when I hit boost. Kind of sounds like a mouse. Any idea what this could be? Is it possible to tighten too much? I have the upgraded Vibrant couplers and T bolt clamps...

 

You're still having leaking problems if you're hearing that mouse noise.

Tighten it up.

 

yep if your hearing anything that sounds remotely like air when you boost, you have leaks bro
