    Help... choking on boost?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi guys, heres one for you. My car was running fine for the past week, then tonight as I was entering the fwy, I gun it and as soon as I start boosting the car chokes hard and keeps choking until it is boosting. The car runs fine under vac. My suspicion is a loose or ripped hose from the FMIC, but a quick visual inspection doesnt show anything. could there be any other suspect hoses / valves prone to blowing off?

    the car is completely fine driving just under boost... but i'll check the CP again. I'm about to build a boost leak tester to get this thing over with.
