Torn hose causing massive boost leak.

While at Watkins Glen this past weekend, our car suffered a major boost loss.

After pressure testing the system we discovered our problem. The F shaped hose that the Diverter Valves are clamped to failed.

Just an FYI.


Check out the size of the tear.

Did it sound different as well?

How did you pressure test the system? Is this something a Porsche dealer can do?

There was no change in the sound at all.
Yes, your Porsche dealer will be able to pressure test the system.
