Loud Air Noise on Boost

Hi Guys,

Wonder if anyone can point me in any sort of direction to look.

So normal driving, off boost is quiet, and wouldn't think there is an issue. On boost I can hear a loud constant release of air, so I'm thinking a hose relating to one of the turbos has split. (More power/boost, more air noise)

1. Do you think I am right in this assumption?
2. Are they any known "weak spots" with pipes that I should check first, or is it a case of checking all?

Any advise is better than I have at the moment.

RS6's are a bit of an unknown for me - owner for a year only.

Thanks All in advance.

Drew :)

Probably the bottom hose has popped off. Very common. Easy fix. Needs to be fixed asafp.

When you say, bottom hose, are you referring to the bottom hose from the intercooler I assume?

Is it easy enough to get to from underneath?

Thanks

Yup. Easy enough if you can get the front in the air. Just drop the sump guard.

ASAFP. I can vouch for that!
