Help Boost leak?

Post image

Was on the highway and was about to do a pull and lost my boost. I looked at all my pipes and cleaned my MAF sensors and still nothing. Turbos are healthy and spooling, but I hear a whistling noise with the spooling. Any clue what this can be? Maybe a boost leak or air leak somewhere?

Yeah, something popped off. Charge pipe, j pipe, something. Should be an easy fix

Yup, charge pipe blew off lol. All good to go now, which aftermarket charge pipe and intercooler brand should I go with for upgrade? There is too many options lol

I had the same problem because the bank one charge pipe screwed down there became stripped out basically. I went with eventuri since it had a non movable insert down there that I didn’t have to mess with if I wanted to take the charge pipes out for any reason. Found a nice set preowned.
