i put on my new perrin TMIC last night and it was fine all night...boosted up perfectly and everything....
then this morning on my way to school i decided to give it a punch pulling out onto the highway and in 3rd gear at around 6k rpm i let off the gas and went to push in the clutch and i heard a boo...BOOOMM!!
everything looks fine and the car drives fine but no boost! and there is a HUUUUGGGEEE leak sound when i spool up. i checked all the hoses and they are fine....what could it be!!!! PLEASE HELP AND THANKS IN ADVANCE.!

Take the intercooler back off, a clamp may have broken or you could have busted a hose on the backside where it would be hard to see by just "looking".

Make sure your BPV is still hooked up properly... mayeb the hose popped off.

ya the BPV is on correctly and everything and Shamoo, i did run my hand along the hoses on the back of the I/C and they all felt fine.
could my BPV had gone bad and its just letting air out continuously?

I doubt it..

I would still take it back off, just because they feel fine doesn't mean they are.. It could feel normal until your in boost, where all the pressure would open the cut/tear in the hose and let the air out.

[appletree]

ok ill do that.
so what if i take it off and it turns out all the hoses are completely fine?

[WESTI]

then you move on and start trouble shooting other areas but if all u changed was the TMIC i dont see how it could be anything else

[appletree]

what other areas would leak boost that bad?

I'm with Sham on this, best thing to do is take the IC off and see whats what behind the thing. Just feeling is not seeing(obviously), don't not take the thing off and look because it's a pain. Not taking it off and being sure there's nothing wrong behind it causing the problem could cause even more problems in the future. Just my 0.02

ya for sure man. if its not those hoses im taking off work and going to Subaru

I would think if you granny drove it and tried to stay outta the boost you should be alright. However not knowing exactly what is causing the leak it could do more damage. If it was me id just take it easy and hope for the best. Hope everything works out for ya bro, update us after you take it to Subaru.

The only possible place to be leaking boost is between the compressor side of the turbo and the throttle body.. which is the IC hoses, IC itself, and BPV.

It's a new TMIC and I've never heard of them just blowing up.. also the stock BPV can hold up to 25-26psi so that's most likely not it.. so the only thing left is the hoses and clamps.

I'd go with name brand, reinforced hoses and t-bolt clamps.

Once Suabru see's the non-factory IC installed they're going to rape you.
