There is a few things happening that i think i might know the answer to it yet here are the symptoms:

-At Idle 500-700rpms it goes quiet then all of a sudden you hear a loud whistle (like a tea pot)

-When I drive and let off the gas the Woosh is REALLY loud

-When I accelerate and let off the gas sometimes the car keeps going for another second .. as in, I let off the gas, then i watch my rpms fly up from 3-4.5 then it starts to go down..

-Also when im driving the stock boost guage (i have an aftermarket one too) but the stock one says im boosting, when i dont hear a thing.

And when my aftermarket one says im boosting you hear nothing but leaking air all the way up to 11 PSI then you hear nothing and you get full push.



I personally think that my stock IC pipe is leaking somewhere OR my BOV is screwed up (stock IC , stock 2g BOV right now)
 
I'd say you guessed right. Sounds like a boost leak. Do a pressure test and find it. Then you'll have a good excuse to upgrade your IC pipe and BOV.:thumb:
 
The stock 2G bov is the biggest POS ever. along with teh rubber IC piping, I'm sure you have a leak, I know I do. I can't wait to get my FMIC back on.
 
the 2g BOV definately does suck, yet my problem with the 1g BOV is the fact that the ones I have tried in the past ive taken off because they have been annoying. One 1g bov was really bad, it whistled instead of woosh. And then one day it snapped.. LOL. the Arm that you clamp down, one day the BOV just blew right off.


Also, i really want my car stock as possible. I plan to sell it soon. (if anyone here ones it, its auto tho.. still a damn good car)
