    Driving to bir yesterday, I every thing was fine, the car felt amazing, when...

    I pulled over for gas in baxter checked my oil, level was perfect. (hard to tell on our stupid dipsticks)

    I start going again up HWY371 and I get up to 65 mph and I let off the gas and I hear a sound comming from the pass. side of the engine bay, right from the turbo, I think my downpipe cracked or I crack my o2 bung on the bellmouth... the car only makes this noise under accelleration and at on start up.

    I frustrated....:roll::roll::roll:

    sounds like an exhaust leak wistling througha multi layer exaust gasket????
    Maybe had a bolt rubbing on a exhaust housing cause I stupid and used the wrong length bolt?????

    I have to take the dp off tonight so I can see if the dp is craked.... I wrapped the piss out of the pipe, the exhaust housing, and the up pipe so I can't see if it is cracked...

    took the down pipe off, the turbo seems fine, down pip has no cracks, did notice sone carbon across the gasket face, looks like I did have a small exhaust leak.

    now, I have got a adjustable turbosmart dual port bov, I beleave it may have been adjusted past the "STOP!!! DON'T ADJUST PAST THIS HERE OR YOU MIGHT BLOW STUFF UP" line....

    (i feel like such a bone head) I'm going to go back and check for boost leaks tonight...

    do you think I can reuse my gasket to put the down pipe back on with?

    I know you have thought this so I'll say it....

    HEY, Putz.... put the stock bpv back on.....

    Dont reuse exhaust gaskets... They have a greater chance of leaking since most of them are a crush sort of gasket.

    uhhh, i have a different engine but;

    I noticed a hissing sound from my car not to long ago, I just have to adjust the air conditioning vent to bi level and the sound goes away. Probably not the issue but that was my first thought.:)
