Don't sweat it, you'll figure it out.

I remember the first time I blew off a stock IC pipe at a track event, in my mind I was thinking I blew it up. So I know how your feeling. Our car don't run well with giant leaks...

GL man.

Check all your IC pipes! Hows your clutch grabbing?

I agree with what ppl are saying, this sounds like a less serious issue. check out if the bov is installed properly, make sure you dont "leak" any air in any area, could even be due to a hole in a hose..could be both with air intake or even the same bov, check the spring it uses?

if you get "gaps" in the power delivery and the boost level makes crazy changes its most likely air pressure leak!

Sounds like you found the right people.. The symptons do sound like a burnt out clutch but a really bad one; Crazy how you didn't know.

i mean its all new to me and such (stick shifting included... i did get about a month of training before i bought the evo...) but when i first test drove it 4th gear acted up and my buddies dad told me it was probably the clutch, the car has 44,000 miles the first owner (who had already replaced the clutch) probably drove it hard....

A while ago, my stock uicp coupler blew off as I was on the onramp, where their happen to be a sheriff parked on the shoulder. Out of all the times my car could have made a loud BOOM, of course it had to happen then. lol

Make sure to retune for all that after you get your car up and running.

Thats sounds like the biggest boost leak ever. Boost leak test will tell you.
