If anything. Dropping the tranny and found this on the passenger side intercooler piping entering the intercooler. it's a small hole. Maybe quarter inch.. definitely drilled, not worn.. does this have any purpose? Or am I looking at a boost leak?

If it's in the ICP you will definitely be leaking (bit of an understatement) boost, but it seems strange that you have had no ill effects from it.
Random (and very unlikely) thought. The previous owner had trouble with overboosting so they drilled a hole to leak boost and prevent it?

Yes absolutely no side effects at all. Builds boost perfectly fine.. I run anywhere from 22 to 27 with an MBC no problem. obviously I suspected it to be a major boost leak but I never noticed anything so had to ask... I'll defiinitely get it fixed. Ran time in sig like this. So this is odd.

Nope bought it like this. I didn't tune it. But will after the new tranny is in.. Good point maybe the Turbo was just working harder to hold boost and just enough i hardly noticed.
