If its a constant air leak noise, check if its the PCV plug. They are a common thing to break and cheap as chips to replace. It should be a fat hose coming out of the top of your engine near your coil pack cover (left side if ur facing it from the front). Just squeeze hoses until u find it if it happens at idle.

Yes it could be one of the vacuum hoses because mine also had a hissing noise but this was due to 2 things.

1. The vacuum hose where its connected to the stock boost gauge had a crack on it.

2. Had a leak on my exhaust. Inbetween the dump and the front pipe.

Gasket had to be replaced.

So yea you should try to find out where its coming from before its too late. I learnt that when i started my car at the shops when all of a sudden the car died after starting it. Vacuum hose just came off and the car was revving up and down on startup until it died.

hey,

if your cars feeling laggy.... its deffietly a rooted gasket either between the head and manifold or manifold and turbo.

have fun replacing them... i thought it was my exhaust manifold gasket.. turned out to be the turbo one... but i was gonna replace the exhaust one anyway... snaped 6 of the 12 studs that hold my manifold on... my car hasnt moved for a month :(

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
