hmmm...appears that i have a blown hose of some sort
funny i was just talking about this the other day. this morning i went to get a haircut before work and on the drive home, once i get to about 3k rpms in any gear there is a load hissing/ whooshing noise and then power loss. definitely a cracked hose eh? let me know what you think, thanks in advance

Again with the hair, if you spent as much time working on your car
as you did your hair, you would be A-OK =-P
Does it appear that we may be having a Tech-Thurs?
I assume that you have looked at any obvious whirrly things to look for a problem with the DV etc

My guess is you've blown this one

The leak will be here (bottom part)

The bottom part is not visable from the engine bay as it's underneath but this is the small hose to the left of the manifold next to the turbo outlet pipe (leading to ICs)
I never did get the right PN as my invoice didn't shot it but I believe Rob (bluTTo) has the part number along with Julie as he recently ordered one. My other guess is you probably still have(had) the race N75 valve in and spiked too much boost and split the hose.
Good luck
