    Not yet. It was raining, then snowing yesterday, and now snow is actually on the ground. Hoping it warms up this week so I can scope it out.

    And to your other point, yea it may leave a bad image if you are doing it constantly, but the drag strip is closed for the season and I just got my car out of a 4 month decomission from a blown turbo and the new ones bigger too, so what I'm saying is, can any of you HONESTLY say you've never ripped you car on the streets late at night (this was around 4am when this happened btw, so basically no traffic)

    Perhaps it's best to check your coilpacks as I read up on a common "red dust" issue which sounds somewhat similar. Have you looked at that?

    Sounds exactly like what it does at idle and stopped, dies unless i constantly feather the gas. And if I try to drive it, I can't really rev past 2k maybe 2500 if I'm in a lower gear. And it sputters and stuff when I tried to drive it home. It wouldn't build any boost but I did hear the turbo spooling so I know its not seized, plus its brand new. So its probably a pipe on the hot side then correct? I'm assuming this as the sound was coming from the passenger side.

    Yeah just check your piping like everyone said. A coupler has clearly come off. You'll have to remove your front bumper.

    If the pipe completely came off, the car will not be able to idle and will just want to die unless you give her some gas.

    if it's stumbling even on throttle it would have to be a hell of a vacuum leak, usually they'll cause a rough idle but not so many issues on WOT. methinks intake leak somewhere

    The MAF could be thrown off if metered air is released. Check for open bov, air leak or cut MAF wires. Also go over charge piping and make sure couplers are intact.

    What do you mean by MAF problem? What could be wrong with my MAF that would be causing problems and would the problems be similar to what I'm experiencing? I'm getting rid of my MAF in the spring and switching to a MAP sensor with my Haltech ecu so it would be kinda no biggie if the MAF was shot.

    It would b wise to grab a RB20 full gasket kit. They are cheap enough and alot of piece of mind.
    Also, you could do a boost leak test. That way u wont have to go lookin for the leak, youll probably hear it leakin if its real small. If its a hose popped off you wont b able to build any pressure.
    Also it could be a possible MAF problem.

    Hopefully the GTS-T intake mani gaskets aren't as expensive as GT-R ones...

    Go over the piping carefully and be sure to tighten them good. Look for worn/cracked rubber vacuum hoses.

    I'm leaning towards the intake mani gasket because of the stalling on idle, but the air escaping sounds like its coming from the turbo side

    I got a GTS and yea the front bumper is a pain in the ass to get on or off, especially after putting the fmic on. I had to hack it to **** to get it to fit haha

    GTR are also paper like. Upgraded ones like HKS are metal. Good idea to keep a kit handy. The tiring part would be to take the bumper off if you can't get to the piping.

    ya sounds exactly like a ic pipe popped open under pressure. i always keep a tool kit in the trunk for quick fixes like that. go over all the piping and if u dont find anything then might have popped the intake manifold gasket. if its a GTS then the intake mani gaskets are just a flimsy week paper material. not sure about the GTR, might be metal?

    Yeah, was gonna suggest the same thing.

    If you dont find anything with the IC piping get a propane tank and turn it on (dont light it) and go around every vacuum line. If you hear the RPMs go up you have a leak.
