    So I was reading on the bbs forums about a jet turbine sound coming from the car its a boost leak. I notice this sound and I know its the turbo, if there is a boost leak how do I find it and fix? :)

    if youre still running a vf-11 I would guess thats the culprit, mine was loud as a jet plane when it spooled.. are you intercooled yet?

    Well, you'll know if you have a leak if you aren't hitting target boost. Do you have a boost gauge to monitor?
