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!!!

A couple of days ago I was leak testing again. I noticed that I still had a decent leak around the compressor housing/ J pipe connection. I gave the system a little extra pressure this time and... what the... the damn J pipe is leaking around the flange! Whoever does RREs J pipes did a crap welding job and left a couple of pin holes. I hit them with JB weld inside and out.
The moral of this story is that the debate of gasket vs. RTV does not matter if your flange leaks... -------------------- Fast & Furious on the outside...DSM under the hood!!!
