while crusing at highway speeds, ive always noticed that there was a lot of "air" coming from the engine bay. on top of that when i shift the turbo was definitely more pronounced. makes a big WHOOSSH sound. so i changed my fuel filter today and i investigated the loud turbo and abundance of air leaking and found that almost half of the turbo boot to intake pipe was ripped! huge gaping holes. no wonder my car idles a bit funky. im sure that messed with the A/F ratio since air was being sucked into the engine after the AMM. i just got a new boot today so hopefully this helps the idle a bit, and maybe i'll get more boost? still running at base boost. maybe not since its not affecting the charged air that much? i dont know... it was definitely interesting though!
