    Hi guys, you serviced my Scooby 2 weeks ago and gave it a new lease of life after a powerrun or two.
    Remember it was making the funny whale mateing type suction noise on acceleration and you tinkered with something to fix the boost, it's happened again, worse this time, what did you do to fix it last time?

    Cheers

    Ok, figured out that it's most probably the turbo outlet to intercooler pipe or another intercooler pipe which just needs the clips tightened but I'm new to the boost scene so just need guidance on what pipes to check :)

    This is my bay though a few things are different now but all red hoses the same

    Which ones most likely the culprit? Arrows would be great if possible lol.

    Johnny tightened the one out of the turbo as someone had not refitted it properly, check the rest of them it could be any of them.

    Was the same pipe again, clip came loose so shifted it over and tightened it, boost is certainly back :)

    Thanks for guidance.
