So last night i was leaving a friends house and decided i wanted to do a little third gear pull and jumped on the throttle. I rev up to about 5k when without letting off the pedal i hear my BOV be the loudest its ever been and i lose all kinds of power. I try and get going again but i've got nothing and i hear a loud hiss after any about 3k. Ok, my BOV must have blown off the hose or something because thats just a massive boost leak i think to myself. Its to dark to really take a good look under the hood so i do my best not to boost on the way home and i went to check it this morning. Everything on top looks to be connected ok. BOV is tight everywhere. IC piping is fine, intake piping ok. Where else might something be loose? and it looks like my BOV is working but i'm not getting any noise. Please help guys.



Thanks, Kyle

If you have twins check that coupler on the Y pipe. That bitch is notorious for blowing off if it's not clamped down really well.
