[s-cars] Turbo leak

I have a similar problem to what James has encountered, however, my
"whooosh" is on the driver's side not the passangers.  I have removed
the belly pan and checked the hose connected to the intercooler and
found no holes.  The hole maybe on top and only show under pressure, I
am checking that tomorrow.  When the car is idling I get a strong
"breeze" from the front of the car directly below the radiator fan
(but know where else behind the fan), then when I rev the engine the
"breeze" disappears.  I think it is unrelated to the turbo issue.

The car is running fine and the boost guage is normal, I only get the
"whoosh" under heavy boost, and the acceleration is gone.  I have a 92
with a stage 1 Lehman chip, and a K&N air filter, on other mods.

Let me know what you guys' think.

Thanks for any help.
