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

its pretty easy to check that line, pull off the gauge and start the car, then get the boost up enough that the gauge is moving, then follow the line until you find a crack/leak. mine was ran up behind the pedal assembly through the hole in the firewall where the steering column goes through and it had appartently been pinched by the clutch pedal and was cracked. i just wrapped it w/ black tape until i got to the store to get new line. black tape will not hold it and will blow off when you get on it, but it will stop the whistling noise. like i said before, heat up the new line to where it is as straight as possible. it came (for me anyway) all rolled up and i broke it tryin to get in unravled before i thought about heatin it up. then what i did was tape the new line to the old line and pull the old line through the cabin of the car till the new line was right there. took me about 10 minutes. good luck and hope this fixes your problem.
