    ok so i have an 02 wrx i just installed a tda motorsports front mount kit. now when i drive it and it starts to boost it leaks. it sounds like a whining noise. but this isnt really the big problem, sometimes like if its not under high boost it doesnt even blow off. any help would b greatly appreciated

    Sorry but what are you asking? You'll have to locate the leak and fix it.

    Because there is no pressure to blow off.

    It doesn't matter in terms of that - your turbo is spinning much more than it needs to or can sustain.

    You can buy a boost leak tester on ebay, and I recommend it, but you need to read up and be careful (loosen the oil filler cap). You can make things much worse with one if you blow a seal.
