Turbo help.
I just quit boosting on my way home from work... I'm guessing it's the crappy hoses... So all boost gurus can you tell me off this diagram which hoses to replace?
BTW just a shout out to Jermey for being the man!

How do you know its not producing any boost? Do you have a boost gauge? Do you hear any strange noises when under full throttle, like the police siren/dentist drill noise?
Have you bothered to even take off the main intake line to the turbo to see if the shaft even spins? Or heaven forbid, fault codes!?

How the hell would we know that? All the hoses you need to look at are around where the intake line is. If you are going to be taking that out, check the hoses going to the N75 valve, and the wastegate. If you find one ripped or torn.............

Facepalm to my face! The ones going to the parts like i just told you NOOB! If you had a leak in any other line you would get a lean fault code from an engine vacuum leak. If you don't know which lines are for the EVAP system.. then you definately need a bentley manual.
