Has anyone else heard a pop, like a baloon when under boost? I had it happen last night and it felt like I lost boost at the same time. After letting off I hit the throttle again and was able to still build boost (only reved enough for 3lbs). I checked all of the couplers and could not find any out of place. I have blown the couplers off before but never had one, theoretically, swell up and pop off the pressure.
I will be doing a boost leak later tonight but thought I would see if anyone else has experienced this. -------------------- Fast & Furious on the outside...DSM under the hood!!!

I tried just the gasket when i had my GSX and it leaked like crazy. Before i tore it apart someone just used RTV silicone. I ended up using the gasket and silicone and it worked just fine.
