Hey guy's just wondering if anybody has had the same problem as me. I own a 03 BA XR6T I was driving down the M2 today and car sounded like it has a exaust leak (Aftermarket full system)

and then I realised when it come's on boost it's not responding but is still spooling up, the car is still to hot to check but could it be turbo gasket or exuast gasket or even worse f*cked turbo???

Could've lost a bolt out of the turbo too mate, check the ones that bolt into the rear housing - does it sound like a tractor or is it only a quiet leak?

Your manifold bolts could be loose. When I pulled my turbo off they dont run a gasket fro the manifold to the turbo. Just pull off all your heatshields and take a look. You should be able to spot the leak then.

Happens all the time make sure you check all the bolts. I didn't check mine for a while and it ruined the gasket around the turbo to dump pipe :(
