Thank you. I have the same issue on my 2008 LGT. I suspect it was the intercooler, but wasn’t 100% certain. I appreciate your helpful video that helps me to narrow it down to the intercooler.
I was told at the dealer when I grabbed the new one that it was a factory defect and that the new ones were "updated". Looked like the same material and design as before. Least you can do is take it off and take a peak. A lot of people don't put them on right and the hose doesn't seat correctly. I went to go take mine off and it slipped off along with the intercooler. I'd put a little lithium grease inside the hose and slip it all the way in. Tighten that clamp down good, too!
mystify tt alright thanks for the heads up! I’m lucky to have a buddy who’s much more experienced than I am and he’s going to help me take a look at it tomorrow. I hope I have the same problem that you had! Seems like it was an easy fix
Fixed this problem on mine after a whole year of owning the car. It was completely blown off making no noise and barely any boost. Had no idea this problem existed.
Thanks for this video, I did some work on my LGT and heard this sound and freaked out (thought I had blown my turbo or munched my sti 6 speed box somehow). Ordered the mishimoto hose to get rid of the problem.
@@Mike_44 no, actually was a boost leak. The OEM hose has rubber end caps that disintegrate over time. Aftermarket silicone hose is 1 piece, avoiding this issue
@@FanaticalRK Good to hear it was this and not the turbo itself. This is probably why I feel the rubber burnt smell and the growling/fffrrrrr kind of noise
Unfortunately I do not. I'm sure your local subaru dealership can give you a part number through the parts department. The hose was the hose coming off the throttle body to the intercooler. There's only one hose that does. I'd call it a throttle body intercooler hose.
Thank you. I actually haven't done anything personally with the exhaust, the previous owner put an aftermarket system in. I've never actually looked what is on it
Hey man i have the same issue on my 2013 wrx any idea what the name of the slip gasket is that goes onto the hose is called?? trying to save some money Thanks in advance
Shouldnt have any oil on them, but it's normal to have oil inside the tube. I would check clamps for tightness, might be loose. Also check the hose for cracks especially around where the clamps are. Might be overtightened and split or just worn out. Or, just like in the video, the flap thing inside the tube is blown out
@@kylersmith7425 thank you 🙏, so in this case i shouldn’t be worried for the turbo right? Just to check the hose and change them if needed, there no smoke 💨 coming out of exhaust or any weird sounds .
@@rinor3681 yeah if it's making the noise in my video, take a look at the hose I took out. Relatively cheap part and easy fix. Doesn't have anything to do with the turbo assuming that's the issue
Mines not making any noises but my boost gauge is usually boosting at 15-17 pounds ish but now in 2nd gear I’ll only boost at 12 pounds , then in 3rd gear I’ll be back up to 15, but I can see the boost loosing pressure at like 5-6k rpm. 4th gear it still pulls but not like before. Idk if it’s a boost leak or a bad turbo, help!
If the turbo is bad, chances are it would make a grinding noise. The bearings usually would go out and either seize or make a terrible noise. It sounds like there is a turbo leak somewhere. Most shops can test your turbo system with a smoke tester. Probably pretty cheap for them to test it for you compared to buying a smoke machine. There's ways to DIY it, you could look it up. Gonna be near impossible to pin point where a leak is coming from without a noise. Shop diagnosis's around where I'm at are around 50-70 dollars, you might get a smoke test done for less. That's what I'd recommend. It'll save you the headache and worry.
The code that popped up for me was po172 too rich. It wasn't a vacuum leak, it was a turbo pressure leak. This was one of the least common things that set off a po172. The most common fix for that code is a bad/dirty map sensor next to the air box. Maybe check that little guy, clean the connectors up or replace the whole thing and see what happens?
Running an airbox will cause the MAP to get covered in oil sometimes, causing the code. The filter required oil, and that gets onto the MAP. I got tired of cleaning the MAP, even had to buy a new o-ring for the MAP cuz they go bad after removing it a few times. Im officially done with the airbox and put the stock box back.
@@thepotterandclayministry basically as you apply the throttle it'll get louder until you let off the throttle. Just like what it sounds like in the video.
In theory, yes. I had a fuel rich code. A very rich fuel/air mixture will cause some black smoke to come out of the exhaust. I didn't notice any smoke out of my exhaust, but I did notice an unpleasant fuel smell
I do not remember the part number, I'd recommend calling your local Subaru dealership. They can for sure get you a part number/get you the right part for your WRX
Wear your seat belt. No excuses will keep you from dying. A low speed spin out in rainy weather like you are driving in at the end of the video is enough to kill you if the car slides into a solid object and your head smacks something like the roof or a window pillar. If the sensor is broken for the buckle being latched fix that. You never know what can happen passing through any intersection. People run lights and stop signs all the time and a low speed t-bone can end you when you did nothing wrong. I've had people taken from my life more than once from simple car accidents.

Happy the vid helps!
Thanks so much man!!! I've noticed my 2016 wrx start doing this the other day but never checked that.
Glad my video was helpful 🤙
I wonder what year and model car he has
I think he's got a 2010. I'll put money on it
He said 2008
🤣🤣
@@fruitfulawakening6882 lol. Right, he said it more than once. 🤣🤣🤣
My 2011 WRX just started making that sound yesterday. I’m literally 1k miles into my freshly broken in rebuilt short block and new OEM turbo

So simply replacing this big short hose took care of the issue? I’m guessing the hose was letting air in because it was deformed? Interesting..
@@Mike_44 no, actually was a boost leak.
The OEM hose has rubber end caps that disintegrate over time.
Aftermarket silicone hose is 1 piece, avoiding this issue
@@FanaticalRK Good to hear it was this and not the turbo itself. This is probably why I feel the rubber burnt smell and the growling/fffrrrrr kind of noise
Bro my turbo is sounding like a supercharger. I checked both charge pipes and still nothing. Maybe I’ll check here next
Thanks man. I knew it was something stupid like that! All I did was remove that piece and put a $5 hose on it. Works fine.
Glad the video helped! 😊
Thank you so much buddy I have this problem too and I’m fixing thank you
I'm glad it helped!
Mine sounds more like when you release air out of a balloon. But squeeze the part of ballon that lets air out
Thanks, thought my belt was slipping...
Imagine paying a mechanic or the dealer to do this labor for you? $xxxx dollars
Imagine being broke like you and can’t afford to? I don’t mind tossing thousands to fix my cars since I’m not broke lol
@@ShitboxNation lol wtf kinda logic is that? some people would rather be the ones wrenching on their car
@@ShitboxNation You're buggin. You sound like a massive prick already lmao
@@Rhodanide he’s spoiled for sure
I might have the same problem I got the same code

When this was happening did you lose power ? I'm struggling right now
Yes, I was losing partial engine power
Would it continue to make the sound and higher the faster you went or more throttle you give it?
@@thepotterandclayministry basically as you apply the throttle it'll get louder until you let off the throttle. Just like what it sounds like in the video.
@@thepotterandclayministry nothing to do with the speed, more to do with the load of the engine with the given throttle
Thank you yeh that's what I have would it do it with the car in park or neutral and reved?
Can this cause black smoke from exhaust
In theory, yes. I had a fuel rich code. A very rich fuel/air mixture will cause some black smoke to come out of the exhaust. I didn't notice any smoke out of my exhaust, but I did notice an unpleasant fuel smell
Had a similar issue in my 2005 S60R after a crash
What the part number for that boot
I do not remember the part number, I'd recommend calling your local Subaru dealership. They can for sure get you a part number/get you the right part for your WRX
@@kylersmith7425 I did they said they need part number :/
What boost were you getting?
I don't have any way of checking the boost on it stock without an accesport or something of the like, sorry.
@@kylersmith7425 try btssm
How many miles at failure?
I think it was about 160k
