Turbo noise/ no boost pressure
While driving tonight out of no where I heard a loud noise, sounded like turbo spool but no power. After pulling over and looking for anything obvious I didn't see anything. Then noticed I couldn't hold any boost. Finally got to my hotel and tried looking again still didn't see anything. Check vac lines and all the couplers everything looks fine. Any ideas?

I had that happen on my VR-4 once, I could use roughly 10% throttle, but anything to the point of building boost mimicked an F-A/18 building afterburner for a carrier launch while the car didn't really move. The silicone coupler to the throttle body from the y pipe had come just loose enough that it didn't blow off, but I could pull it straight off with a tug. Re-tightened, good to go.
