Removed and checked for cracks or leaks; couplings in turbo piping, hoses to/from IAC valve, BPV. TBTC is tightly attached to TB. Rplaced vac lines from TB to MAP sensor, BPV, and fuel pressure regulator. Examined (no obvious cracks) but did not remove three thicker hoses between turbo and boost control valve (as called in Haynes manual), between TB and charcoal canister (as much as I could see with a work light), and brake booster vac line. Listened at idle for vac leaks with a stethoscope. Nothing. Still hear boost leak and maximum boost less than before (per gauge) as described in my earlier posts. No CEL and engine behaves normaly otherwise, after several hundred miles since hissing sound started.
What am I left with - intake manifold gasket?
Anders - is there a car rental place near you or do you rent out "loaners" like my guy in Montrose? I may need to drop it off for an expert opinion...
