Boost Leak?

[stu0x]

What are the obvious causes for a boost leak? My first turbo doesn\'t seem to do anything other than whistle all of a sudden. I used to have the problem when one of my intercooler hoses split, but I\'ve got hardpipes now and have just checked them, they\'re still on there securely.

Have you gont an efini y pipe or is it the earlyer rubber cupler type?
If it\'s the early type, check that and all other pipe conectors...... also double check the jubilee clips as I had a problem with them(previous ownter didn\'t titen them!!!!!)

Yeah - i\'d go for the rubber coupling as the first place for the problem.

Not got the upgraded Y-Pipe, so I guess it\'s probably that.

My skills under the bonnet are *extremely* limited though - any chance of some clues/a photo as to what I\'m looking for?

Take a look at this tutorial if you\'re still stuck.

I had a boost problem, as result of some loose clips on the y-pipe/crossover-tube connection, but fixed it the other day.  :p
