Default A little help please

I've just fitted a FMIC to my Wrx, been running ok for a week and i've done a good few miles. Anyway yesterday I was driving and there was a slight pop and I lost all boost (almost like an air leak).

I've checked all hose clips and pipework, had the battery off to reset the ECU (got told to try this) but its still running lumpy got abit of smoke out the back too.

Any Ideas

Almost certainly a leaking or split hose somewhere sometimes you can hear them if you get close enough

Thats the first thing that Id think too. Perhaps its a split thats only evident under boost; that cant be easily seen under atmospheric pressure?
