Today when I wving my was driving back from Sydney my car started to make a weird whooshing sound from the passengers side of the engine. When I got home I checked to see if all the hose clamps were tight under and all appeared well there. The only other thing that I can possibly think that it can be is maybe the inlet manifold gasket. I checked all the hex bolts on the top half but haven't actually checked the ones to the block.

Has anybody got any ideas what else it could possibly be, I'm starting to get frustrated.

Your passenger window is ever so slightly down??!!!

I wish it was that simple. Don't really feel up to pulling the manifold off

BOV? BOV LEAK.

Mite take the BOV out and see how that goes. Thanks for the idea

How did you go????

I reckon BOV leak as well, Im no expert but that's what I think.

Well I took the BOV completely off and that didnt make any difference. The noise still makes a flutter sound when getting off the throttle and its a whooshing/boost leaking sound still.

I tightened the inlet manifold bolts but again same noise. This is starting to get really frustrating. Think it's time to pay someone to fix it

Check the rubber joiner that links the throttle body to the cross over piping, It might have a split in it ! It wont be very visable by just looking at it, so you might have to twist and/or bend it to actually see the crack, It's quite a common problem. Good luck with it thou.
