No not common knowledge at all - two examples of this happening in the last week . Who knows how many others out there are suffering from the same affliction .
I suspect lots ...
And yes , all turbos and SCs for that matter could have that hose fly off.

yep - good advice . Thing is that particular hose is buried such that you can't actually see it unless you know it's there . I think most shop installs would miss this small detail unless it was spelled out somewhere . I'm attempting to do that .

So I posted this in my build thread but then realized I'd probably get a better answer here so:
I've noticed something over the past day or two and that is my boost used to peak on the gauge at 6.5psi doing 2nd gear WOT pulls. The other day I was out and did a pull and my gauge looked like it reached a peak of only just over 5psi. The only difference I can think of is that is what drastically warmer (about 10C or 50F warmer) these past few days than previous days. Would this cause my boost to be less? I plan on giving my whole turbo system a good once over this weekend to see if there is anything notable I can find. So far the other thing I have noticed is that my oil catch can is about 1/8th full with only 2000miles on the turbo kit. I have been noticing alot more of the white gungy stuff on my oil dipstick as well and it looks like that is what is mainly in the catch can. I will pull it off and get some pics later to show what I am dealing with..... Anyone got any ideas for now though?
