Turbo Help -- PLEASE

[Peter Berrevoets]

Thank-you for asking this question, I've had an absurdly loud hissing under
boost at about 1.4 BAR and then the engine will pull for a couple of seconds
and then start to stumble - I assume from too rich a mixture due to air
leak.

I'm going to pull this little bit off and check it first thing in the
morning!

Cheers,
