ok so i have been running 7 psi for the past few months in my 7afte and every thing has been fine accept for a little oil burning off but its no big deal. so the other day i go to get in my car and pull out of my drive way and notice a HUGE difference. i look down at my boost guage and see that iam running 12 PSI. so i was like ok, this is kool and left it alone. that was two days ago and today i go to drive it after not touching anything and notice that iam running 0PSI. i checked the intercooler piping, waste gate and MBC and everything is fine. the turbo also sounds different, it has a more high pitched whistle to it and sounds more like a supercharger...weird... any idea whats going on??

There is a vacuum leak somewhere....might be simple and inexpensive....could be bad. Check out this thread for a way to find it:
