    Even with my boost controller turned off, and safety boost things plugged back in its boosting to 1 bar, well lets just say that's as far as I take it before I left of fearing for any more boost. Goes damn fast, but I cant drive it like that all the time, and + when I want to give it some stick I feel its going to build past 1 bar and I don't want to blow my motor.I can't see any other hoses etc that might have popped off, the only thing that recently happed was my Throttle body hose popped off on one of the sides.My hoes are shot to hell so I would say if there was a leak it would be there, but is a leak from that area able to increase the boost>? you know like a bleed valve does?Thanks,

    Only the hoses going to the wastegates

    leaking can cause overboost, nothing else Scott.

    agree with DUB

    My passenger side hoses had a habit of popping off. Lucky for me it was as it came of the intercooler piping and was easy to see.

    replace it

    i had a split intake hose which caused mine to have less boost which i replaced with stainless ones and fixed the problem

    Thanks for the replies

    Yes my hoes, I mean hoses :) won't make me much money in the condition they are in :(
    Hopefully it's just popped off the passenger waste gate As that ones piss to get to from jacking the car up.

    Other wise I am going to be there all :(
