Boost leak???

[Keiran]

Hi guys I've got a really annoying sound when I put my foot down. Sounds like a screeching belt but it only happens on boost. I can't get under the bonnet to see where the sound is coming from as it only happens when under load (in gear) I've checked all visible hoses but can't see any splits. What do you wizards on the forum think. Cheers in advance,

If thats your noise then it's the red hose connecting your intercooler to the turbo

Na it's not that mate sounds more like a screeching belt and it gets louder the further I put my foot down. Quite annoying lol. Cheers for the reply.
