It almost sounds like a hose is pinched or has come loose.

T-clamps. But tightening the clamps is tricky as I found with my pressure guage. You think you made it tight as hell but under pressure you find out you need a couple more ugga duggas. A couple stood out. The throttle bodies, lower intercooler inlet and that pain in the A$$ that goes by the steering knuckle. As I sit here right now I'm hashing out how I'm going to manage to do Van Jen clamps to forget about tightening forever.
