Matt Harwood Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 On my way into work this morning, during a moment of haste, I had a loud pop from the engine bay as I let off the throttle in 3rd at about 5000rpm. This instantly resulted in the turbos becoming very loud and whooshing instead of whistling and a definate lack of any positive boost, (gets to just under zero on the gauge). I'm assuning I've either blown a hose off somewhere or split a pipe... Could be turbos but 'm not getting any real smoke from the exhaust, bit blacker than normal but no blue smoke... I've done a search on blown turbos and loss of boost and there's quite a few to read through and I havent got time to go through them all and write down all the various possibilities. Sorry for the lazyness, but can someone give me a list of probable hoses to check. - I've checked all the IC hoses and they're OK. If I rev the engine from under the bonnet, the whoosing sound seems to be coming from the turbo side of the engine roughly in the middle. I have had a quick look but things are a bit hot at the moment. Thanks for any assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Definately sounds like it's just a hose popped off to me. I had a hose pop off where I'd T'd the boost gauge in, so I'd check around there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
