i was driving along tonight and i got on it in third at about 3000 rpm's and decided it wasnt enough pick-up so i downshifted into second and layed into it then i heard a squelching noise so i let off and gimped her to the closest spot with a street light
i get out and check all of the intercooler lines-intake-blow off lines- and they all seem to be tight so i get back in and take off and now if i go over 5psi i hear a loud whistling noise and i gets louder as the boost goes up, so i gimp it to where i am almost home and i get on it to see if there is any perfermance loss and i didnt feel any loss, but the whistle now starts at 3psi, so i at home now and am at a loss for what i could have done did i just blow off an ic pipe and dont know it?? could there be a hole in the intake?? did i **** up the turbo/wastegate? or could it be just a minor boost leak somewhere?? i am at a total loss and dont want to hurt her any more if i am at all. let me know what you guys think thanks in advance -zack -------------------- Dodge Neon SRT-4

if you have an aftermarket boost gauge, id check the line runnin to it. that sounds a lot like what happened to me. cant be sure thats your problem, but sure couldnt hurt. if that is the problem, like the line is cracked or somethin its a very easy fix, just go to farm and fleet or autozone or something and get some new line. if its all wound up, then use a heat gun aka g/f's hairdryer to stretch it out straight before you put it back on. hope this helps.
