    it worked, boost leak found

    did some testing on power the other day and definitely heard a boost leak, with no cel, either. so i followed the a4mods.com writeup and spent $10 on pipe and a hose fitting. instead of hooking it up on the TIP side, we went under the car and did it from the turbo outlet. it was the breather hose on the intake manifold ('bout 5" with a 1" L) found the replacement on ecstuning for $11, stealership wanted $23. will followup on wednesday when i get the hose replaced. finally an inexpensive fix

    curious to know how much this will affect the overall performance now? what does loss of boost=loss of hp? does anyone know? i know there are plenty of techies on here
    mods - not enough for me and way too many in my wife's opinion

    There was a recall on that breather hose failing.....you should have got that repaired for free.
