Have the car on ramps now but looking to see if these symptoms sound familiar to anyone. Normal driving is fine but when get to 10 psi I hear air escaping from the passenger side and no more boost is made. I have a 2012 so I "think" I have the piston type dv, should know for sure in about 30 minutes.

Could be any of your intercooler pipes/Vacuum pipes, or like you mentioned your DV. Just do a once over all of it and tighten everything down.

Just realize has the Forge TC... that thing has leaks written all over it. I'd check all of that first as Sr. Plac has suggested.

And just found the cause. Clamp came loose on an intercooler hose!

Btw, boost tap was loose also, put a zip tie on it since the barbs werent grabbing the hose very well anymore, who knows what I was losing there and didnt notice.

Nola, were you getting coolant or oil around that area of the boost tap?

No, it seems like tube just got softer and less elastic. The tube also has yellowed (used to be clear).

Now I did have a little oil down by the intercooler hose that popped off.
