Please be screwing with me....

 

is the car stock? can you record the noise? how high did you rev and how quickly did you dump the clutch? what gear and rpm are you at when boost wont exceed 8lbs - try s# mode?

 

The noise only happened in the instance I left off the clutch. The car is stock, but could of been messed with as it is used. And I don’t think I revved it too high as I was just trying to reverse out of my driveway, no crazy shenanigans. And I didn’t dump the clutch, as it made the noise I caught it before it stalled or anything and pressed it back in then it kind of wound down and went away, but now I find it hard to get the boost past 8-8.5 lbs.

And I’ve tried getting the boost up(gently) in 2nd through 4th.

 

I did not lift the release and move it ALL the way to the right and down to reverse. I was in 6th gear and revved, let off the clutch, there was a weird grind noise really fast and what I thought was maybe smoke coming from my exhaust.

Now I’ve only put 160 miles on this thing since I got it, and I swear I hear a rattle that wasn’t there before and it seems like my boost struggles to go past 8 lbs

"Smoke was clutch smell. No problem.

Boost and noise issues? The above didn't cause them whether or not they are real.

 

If you try to move from it higher gear car would stall...just say what did you do really .... or did you redline and tried to do reverse burnout lol...

 

I said exactly what I did, no lies.

 

You need to determine if there is any real issue becuase if there is you want to stay out of boost untill it is operating properly. You should not force boost if there is an issue.

 

I’m going to try one more time to get the boost up, I’m still under factory warranty bumper to bumper, and if it doesn’t go up, it goes to the shop. I think, THINK! I know what the rattle noise was, two hoses came undone from their plastic open ended clips, so I’d bet they just rattled against those.

Thanks everyone for the help, if it’s anything serious I’ll post an update. Just in case there’s more than one dummy out there

 

rough idle/not getting up to boost, could be boost leak.

aside from that tho, the STI rattles and makes noises in general.

do you know which hose came undone and why? typically hoses dont get undone unless u forgot to put it on, or you're making a lot of PSI that one of them goes pop.

 

It didn’t come undone from its connection. It got loose from a hold down clip. I’ve been thinking a boost leak but I wasn’t even under load when it happened and don’t know how it would of popped anything out to create a leak. I also don’t have a rough idle.

Unless it idling high when I first turn it on counts as rough idle but I am not sure if it did that when I first got it or not.
