[200q20v] Whooshing noise- need help

[Kneale Brownson]

To "really" check the MM hose, you need to remove it and squeeze it between 
your palms.  The wire helps hide cracks in the hose.  A tear would reduce 
boost to zip, I believe.  If MM's ok you also want to check the lower hose 
to the intercooler.
