Roger, wanna help out my search for a boost leak this weekend?
I wasn going to just pull the bumper off and check all the intercooler fittings as well as the turbo inlet. Im getting a honk noise at around 25lbs of boost. Lemme know.

I hate boost leaks, they're a pain to locate.
My last one turned out to be a broken clamp that looked ok on top but was busted underneath right through the middle of the metal strip. No idea how that happened, must've been a defect in the metal.

Luckily i have t-bolts everywhere except the throttle body so i dont htink its faulty clamps..
Its probably one that just backed off over time. I just turned the boost back up so im sure something blew off. I have a t-bolt for the throttle body coming.

The honk that your thinking of is from a broken diaphram in a 710 or stock DV.
I have a forge. Its one of the silicon couplers with my intercooler system i tink. I just turned the boost up so **** is popping off. It could perhaps be the 1in hoses going to the diverter, Those have a tendency to breakdown with heat.

Hmm. Its causing a studder on accelaration, i will make sure to check all that.
I relocated the diverter and replaced all those hoses a couple months ago. they are the only houses without t-bolt's.
