I am seriously freaking out. After work I headed home as usual, but the car didn't rocket off like usual. No matter how hard I hit it, my boost gauge only reads to 0. As far as I can tell all my piping is still in tact, and the car runs fine. I'm off to see what I can to for her.

PHEW! The piping just blew straight off the turbo. We're fixing it right now. Thank God it wasn't the turbo. It's hard to see where it blew off because the huge intake pipe blocks view. I took off the intake and saw it staring me straight in the face. And if you did help out Brandon, I would have told the homies you were with me so they wouldn't jack your wheels! Thank you for your concern everyone, 45 minutes and this had over 40 views!

And as far as the BOV, I can thank Import sports for their speedy service. I ordered the flange two weeks ago, and when I call to see if it's in I get the runaround. Fuck it, Paragon or Pac, here I come.

hmm, PAC? Where's that? Since I've never heard of them, I'd say go with them over the other two.

Pac is down the street from Trenz. They have a good rep, and I've already spoke with one of the employees. My trust is in them, and who knows, maybe it'll be on tomorrow! Anyone want to cruise up there tomorrow?

Haha, yeah, I was going to reasure you if you couldn't figure it out. Oh, if it happens again, turn your radio off, you'll usuaially hear a wistle like you have a wistling window or something, the closer it is to the turbo, the louder it is.
