What was that nasty sound?

[niall]

So the other day I was driving on the freeway in my R stage 2+ vwr intake and I heard a big noise like something had blown off the part of the engine. I was in 6th gear DSG under full throttle/load overtaking, using some tourque to get past and along came the usual flutter sound from the turbo followed by a nasty noise like an air hose had departed.
Anyone have any ideas what it might be?

I'm assuming you have already inspected the engine bay and checked all the hoses?

[AdamD]

Photos? Anything leaking? Any warning lights on the dash? Any subsequent noises or noticeable change to the car?

[niall]

No, nothing obvious in the engine bay. No change in performance nor any warning lights. it's got me stumped

Might have been a backfire from an ignition coil pack that's on its way out. The coil packs die pretty quickly when you tune these car's - how many km's on the car?

I had to replace my stock coil packs after 13,000km as they were starting to misfire.

Take a part the intake and see if the filter has a hole in it...
