Not unheard off where mechanics don't tighten them up enough Recently had an episode with my radiator hose clamp on a different car I took in for service after they did a radiator flush - hose came off after 2 days of driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually they only hit full boost at WOT.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one on here will be able to tell you exactly what is wrong no matter how many times you repeat it and even then we would be only guessing.There have been a couple of suggestions made but if you aren't comfortable to diagnose them or even use the flash tuner then you need to find someone that is.How about giving your tuner a call? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
