After getting my cambelt/water pump changed a few months ago ive had constant boost leaks/hissing noises from the drivers side

ive been back to where i got it done several times and they have retightend the near side intercooler pipe and then the car feels fine for a few days but when i put my foot down in 6th gear theres still a really loud hissing noise and slight lack of power.

im going back to garage tomorrow and wanted to know what other boost pipes they may have removed to do the cambelt/ waterpump so i can get them to check that.

Lcr btw!


Cheers

this got my attention. I had the same after cambelt last week. Mine was the intercooler pipe not connected!
