Default loud hissing sound comming from car (turbo'd)

I have a 02 civic ex its been turbo'd for a month or 2 already

Since school started I havent had time for anything.. so i have been running stock injectors on the car but never reved it past 25% throttle.

Well on the way back from work i heard a clunking sound like metal against metal... and from there on all i hear is a loud hissing sound comming from the engine bay. There are no fluids or anything leaking. It almost sounds like air escaping. I only have one vacuum line in the car tapped (with a vacuum mani) which seems fine. So it doesnt seem to be a vacuum leak.

any suggestions? has anyone had this problem before?

f*** well another thing... i had a 3puck clutch installed not long ago as well. didnt really mention because i thought it was irrelevant but I noticed that when I put the clutch in the noise gets higher pitched. I know my tranny was making noises before only when the clutch was out on idle.

who knows what it can be now

sounds like the problem is in the clutch release or pilot bearing not the motor!!

alright nevermind... so i read that the pilot bearing isnt not in motion when the clutch is engaged.

My car still has the loud hissing noise when the clutch is engaged it just changes tone alittle (slightly higher pitched)
