I recently noticed a really loud suction at full acceleration coming from passenger side. There is no performance decrease from what I can tell. Under mild to heavier acceleration no issues. It only happens when i am at nearly 100% throttle. I don't see any oil leaks, my intercooler hoses are all connected. I have no codes. I do have a BMS intake, but this doesn't sound like it is coming from the intake. Has anyone ever ran into anything similar? Could the hot side charge pipe be damaged as it is plastic? If that was the case, there would probably be a code. Could it be a hose or bad boost solenoid? Any advice would help. Thanks!

I will try and get a video to post!

Sounds like a boost leak to me. Check all of your plumbing, especially around the clamps and connections. Sometimes they leak in a way that doesn't affect performance *that* much, but its leaking just right to make an annoying sound.

I was going to do a more thorough inspection once the weather gets warmer here and I get some time on the weekend. There are only so many things on the passenger side it could be coming from, so I should be able to find something.

Most leaks that aren't a full disconnect are pretty hard to see, even if you have the car on a lift. I suggest doing a smoke test if you have the opportunity, it saves a ton of guess work.

Here is a sound clip:

Possibilities: Loose clamps, Boost solenoid, hot side charge pipe, tear in silicone intercooler hoses, turbo waste gate. Any other ideas?

Solved!

It was something I didn't expect. Since I had a nice day after work today I decided to look around and noticed an intercooler hose t-clamp was off. When I first installed my intercooler, the hose clamps would come off and I would have almost no power. That is why I didn't expect it to be the clamp. We are back in business!
