It started acting up today sounding different not hearing it spool up as much and the stock BOV making a very loud whoosh noise (not the normal sound it makes this was different)? only time it would go above 2-3 psi was in 2nd gear which it hit 4psi then bounced and surged between 3-4psi? if this is not just a simple boost leak what else could this be??? thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
