Went out for a quick spin after sorting my rad, car seemed fine till i came a blind corner and some tossers had put a big boulder in the road that went crunch under my car. Now when the boost needle hits the 0 it goes no further and i get a massive hissing sound from the engine bay (i think drivers side). I cant work out where it would be comming from though.

 

Any ideas?

Hmmm, bust an intercooler mebbe or a pipe?

Sounds like a big boost leak, so would check the pipes first Marcus, then the intercooler itself :(

The only other thing i can think of where it spools but doesn't produce boost is the Tub got a good belt and damaged the fins inside :( hope this isn't the case bud.

Im gonna remove the bumper and look at the intercoolers over the weekend as the rock went under the front driverside wheel and i think one hit the gearbox area.

Fookin ell sarge, always looking on the bright side :rolleyes:

 

Either damaged pipe near the intercooler or the intercooler itself as this is the most vunerable to stones/ rocks/ small animals and children ;)

And if it's any of those Marcus-let me know before I bin em'!! :D
