Just been out for a little run (not fast)
when i stoped at a red light the car seemed to be misfiring so i drove home and the cel light came on then went off. when i start it up there is a hissing noise coming from the turbo area (left of cooler)
grateful for any advice
Car is jap wrx bug eye
thanks

Just guessing, I'm nothing like an expert, but maybe a split in the intercooler pipe? Are you running standard boost?

NS04

 

yes just standard

 

check the dump value pipe these make a hissing sound when spit or loose front of intercooler on right sound travels

 

Cheers im looking today
anyone else ?

 

UPDATE: when i put my hand on the back of the heat sheld the hissing seems to stop is this possible ? any ideas
and is there some thing missing from this pic http://gallery106143.fotopic.net/p14082351.html
left of the cooler there seems to be a shiney thread were a bolt might of been ?
