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

Are you still getting whatever boost levels you were before? I'm too new to say whether or not you have a problem. But since you didn't install the gauge, just follow the vac hose that attaches to the back of it. Normally they go down through the firewall somewhere right above the pedal assembly and attach to the intake or tb. Now that it's day light just pop the hood and run over every hose. Have a friend start the car and give it enough juice to whilstle while you try and locate the sound. Another option that isn't that bad of an idea to do anyway is just check for intake leaks, talk to awd dsm 1, or check this out, intake leak tester.
-------------------- game over.
