Replaced this hose, solved boost issues. hooray
I found this cracked hose a few weeks back. Replaced it and my boost problems went away. I used to have a noticeable surge under boost (as in sudden loss of power), and I'd spike at about 17psi. Now I have no surge, and I can actually spike above 20psi. Anyways, just thought I'd share pics. I guess this is something to check if you're having issues.

It took me a while too.
The tear was on the underside of the hose so not visible normally, but once I felt underneath the hose the leak was pretty obvious, as you can see. No obvious leaking though. My coolant bottle is moved in the picture, so this hose isn't normally so exposed.
