Boost leak!

Post by Alexhoc »

Hi all,

My car has developed a huge boost leak. it's a 2000 ATJ, 251k, fairly standard. I can hear the air leaking out under acceleration.

The car still goes OK, by that I mean it's not as bad as the N75 issue that causes no boost at all (been there!). I have checked all the pipes but I cannot see anything obvious.

Is there an easy way for me to diagnose where it's coming from, rather than take all the pipes off to check for a crack and re-seat them?
