I let my boyfriend drive my car...
Before he even let my car heat up he put his foot fully down, hard and then it went bang 3x and had an awful sound.
Now my boost doesn't work at all. =[ =[.

I have a boost controller and after the incident it was reading 10, then went to 0. Now it's constantly reading 0.

Probably just an air hose blew off the intercooler.

He checked it.
Turned out that the bottom intercooler pipe came off.
He reattached it and now it sounds better than it did before.

Now he's blaming me that I did it, lol.
Definitely not letting him drive my car anymore!

Be sure to use good clamps on those Intercooler pipes.

never loan your car, your tools, your DVD's, or your partner, they always come back f....d

when my first one popped off i removed the lot, cleaned and replaced some suspect clamps, and degreased all pipes and cooler, so hopefully its good for a while.

nice clean soarer you got there.

i found that over time, my intercooler pipes had a bit of oil so they were prone to coming off very easy!

best bet to take it apart(dead easy to do) and just degrease all the pipes :-)

If the clamp is done up well, the oil cannot get to the area that the clamp pushes down or beyond that so oil wont affect how easy they come off.

That happened to me aswell, Some stupid ass put the wrong pipe on, they used that crinkly one and it kept cracking. Mine stopped making that vooooshhhhh noise too and I had to get a striaght pipe and a new clamp and it took like 10 minutes to put on. Then it was all fixed, never happened again. Mechanic dude will probably charge you $30 or $40 but its real easy to do, I could do it and thats saying something! You let you boyfriend drive your car, I dont let anyone touch mine. I guess sometimes I let my boyfriend drive it once and a while. Is it guzzling more fuel too and feel really slugish? Maybe get your car checked.
