check your piping, check where all the hoses meet the piping. One of them probably blew off.

I agree. Make sure all your i/c clamps are on tight, this is a very common thing that happens on boosted cars. You can also add a 'bead weld" on the end of i/c pipes and that can help hold all your piping together.

Off topic, BoostedSi... Were you unhappy with Ed's tuning? I had him do my motor and i had nothing but positive things to say. I know balanced performance up'd their hourly charges... anyways just curious, let me know.

yea its most likely charge piping. when mine popped off before i could hear the turbo spooling still, it just sounded different than it usually does. check all ur connections and clamps, sometimes they're just not tight enough.
