Check the intercooler hoses. Mine did the same thing when my IC hose-clamp needed to be replaced.

did you hear a big gush of bov sound....or did it just pop



i know when my BOV pops off sometimes, stock hose on the alum pipe, itll make a super loud bov noise, but itll still run...



a vacuum leak from the IC system shouldnt stall the car out....itll just have no IC pressure and no boost....



ive driven with my IC off before..but not boost



i really think the engine sounds blown

A vacuum leak (popped hose) from the IC will make the car stall. How do I know? First-hand experience.

Both the AFM and ECU are different for the S5. Maybe that has something to do with it?

i did the quicky test, both rotors have the big "whoosh" noise. Im trying to do this quick since it will be dark soon. I removed and reinstalled the intercooler, and all is fine.. EXCEPT this...
