no boost pressure

Mikey135 · 04-23-2013, 01:12 AM

I was driving for a couple hours and when I went to pass somebody I heard a popping sound and lost all my boost pressure. The turbos still sound like they are spooling but they aren't holding any pressure. It is late and I don't have any light here but any suggestions what I should look at in the am?

chargepipe may have popped off

charge pipe seems to be something common that gets cracked/blown off

If you're now getting a loud whooshing sound then defintely check boost hoses. Start off simple i.e. up top and then progress downwards to the lower IC hoses.

And sure enough my charge pipe popped off.
