I recently replaced the rubber joiner on throttle body with silicone hose that stopped boost leak and revs issue. I now however have what seems like an intermittent boost leak from turbo side. Still holds boost but seems to lag heaps down low and I can hear air gushing out. It will only last about 5-10 minutes after start up and then comes good and drives fine. Turn the car off for 10 minutes then start back up I get same issue again which then goes away within a few minutes. Ive checked all piping, vac lines, clamps and anything that could be loose, everything seems to be sweet. Any help appreciated. Cheers!

Also, recently had exhaust manifold to turbo studs done with all new gaskets. Really starting to do my head in haha.

If it comes good I doubt a hose is off, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s weird how the problem is reliable, as in it’s there and I can pretty much predict when it will it go away and drive sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
