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 gave it a light sand papering to get all of the old RTV off and then gave it a fresh layer. My guess is that the way it was leaking I must have actually blown the seal that the RTV had going. Also, as I was tightening one of the bolts I got that stripped feeling(the bolt not me). I think the last time I quit when it felt as if it was stripping, but having just seen that the threads were OK I kept at it. In a few more turns it snugged up real nice so I think it will hold better this time.
Thanks for the replys! -------------------- Fast & Furious on the outside...DSM under the hood!!!
