Default Getting whoosh from initial turbo....

I am a new and happy owner of a 2000 S4. I have been reading about how the stock tbb ripsor comes loose. I went on a bumpy road, and ever since I am getting a woosh and loss of power from about 0-3k Rpms. The turbo is still sucking but it sounds like there is a leak in the system. I read this is easy to fix and should be fixed fast. Please guide me through the repair. I also have read to go with the upgraded samco or apr asap.

Thanks.

www.vastperformance.com Get a 2.7T pressure tester. you can check the system to see if you have a leak any where between the turbo and the intake...A must for you 2.7 guys. Or you could get a V8 no need. LOL

start there

First, just start at the air filter & follow all the pipes to the throttle body. Just make sure all the hoses are tight, & on all the way. When you get to the throttle body, remove the TBB, & inspect it.
