Hrm, WOT and then I hear a sound like a blow-off valve. I lose power (not electrical) and the car

starts slowing down. I've checked the TBB and no cracks...was going to check the F-hose..but I started up my car and noticed that when I accelerate...there's white smoke coming out of the exhaust. I can't hear any noise from the turbos either. Think I blew a gasket? Or even the turbos? BTW, I did notice that this hose was almost thrashed...but it's just a vacuum line..isn't it?

What hose, and if there's smoke, could be a turbo.

No sound...just when it lost power. Sounded like a blow-off valve.

I put the pic in the post. It's that braided hose. But I don't think that's causing the prob.

Default hrm, I was going about 55 at the time...about to upshift. I don't hear any 'drilling' sound coming

from the turbos. But I don't hear the turbos either. Of course I don't want to try and spool them..because of the smoke.
