Air blowing through interior vents on boost?

[platofan]

I seem to be getting a whistling and a breeze of air through my vents when the car is on boost. I also think something's up as the coolant temp is hitting 90 pretty quickly.

Only started today when I took the car for a run and the only thing I can think of is maybe a pipe has popped off the intercooler/turbo?

Any ideas?

Cheers

Let the coolant cap off a few times to make sure it has bled properly, as for your vents? a turbo pipe off would cause then engine to over fuel and throw loads of black smoke out not really blow air through the vents.

If so, that's your best bet...

Sounds like my problem. Seat specialist said a pipe did pop off a few times but they clamped it and I suppose it's just made the next weakest pipe pop off now.

One thing after another with these cars lol

Tou will only hear a noise not really feel more air coming through unless you increase your speed and it will be out side air passing into the vents not air from the leaking pipe.

I think the temp thing was just paranoia....yesterday was hot.

Took the undertray off and there are a couple of connections that are still holding but have a fair amount of play in them. Could I still be losing air out of these? One is the very bottom 90 degree joint and the other is on the end of a metal pipe.

Forgot to mention that bottom 90 degree one drips oil from the joint :/

The oil dripping is pretty normal.
