Title: Possible boost leak
Post by: jacko78 on June 06, 2010, 10:06:17 pm

Hi guys. Well got up this morning for work, 2 hour drive to liecester and as
usual open my window to wake my arse up. And all I hear is a big
sssshhhhhh sound every time I'm on boost 1.5 k and above. Is this a boost
leak or something even worse. And if it is a boost leak is it fixable by me

Yeah feels gutless but still gets up there. Just feels completely different to normal
no strenght at all. I did get up to the motorway speed limit but was so loud I had to back off,
also it drank a full half a tank of diesel on a journey which only uses a quarter with spirited driving
