The car is dumping ALL of its boost off when I get on the throttle. There is a loud whooshing sound coming from the passenger side of the car, so I am assuming the leak is on that side. I checked my BPV's and my hoses (to the best of my ability), everything seems to check out. :-/ It has to be a HUGE hole somewhere..... I am running RS4 intake/IC's, APR/samco hose kit and APR Bi-pipe. I am not even sure if my car has an F-hose anymore... Any ideas? Anyone had a samco/apr hose blow a hidden hole?
Uhhhggg.....

two things......boost leaks are often times visible from under the hood by looking at some of the things tou mentioned you did.....also, IC hoses are a pretty weak link if not secured properly with the clips.....moreover, Samco hoses tend to soften around the clip because the pressure of tightening then squishes them out of shape a little....First, check IC hose connections first if you can get under the car....Second, there are two smaller intake related hoses on the driver side near the transmission....they are small in length compared to the Samco hose set...my MTM kit came with these....many people went to great lengths tunung their cars and are running these factory hoses....they are VERY hard to get to and even see....they are there....this may be something to look at.....rob

if you have the rs4 intercoolers then it can;t be an end tank....maybe one of the hoses?????(i am sure you checked but just in case) i don't think you have an f hose in your car do you? wasn;t that revised before your year?
are you throwing any codes? good luck man, and get back to my emails!
