We are on our way from massachusetts to michigan and having a problem with
the 200. Under boost, there is a surge of air into the cabin through the
vents. The engine bucks a little also. I turned off the climate control
and still the same so it seems like a big boost leak. I looked around the
pressure hoses and can't see anything obvious except a small amount of oil
on the rubber hose from the J hose to the intercooler. I don't want to
mess with it on the road and make it worse since I don't have many tools
with me. I thought that you could force the engine to boost by pinching
off the lower wastegate hose. At least then I could hear where the leak
is. If anyone has any ideas or can help, I am headed down I90 almost to
NY. I'm mobile on the laptop so I will get any emails right away. For
now, we will try to stay off the boost.
