Boost leak

[arrivalblue]

Noticed when opened my hood tonight looking for possible boost leak heard air leaking or vacuuming from this hose what is it and would it cause intermittent issues or boost to be all over? Right at the 90 fitting I hear air.

That hose connects to the intake manifold near the throttle body.
The grey piece of plastic in the hose to the right is the check valve for the brake booster. That's where you probably hear the vacuum noise, it's normal.
Common boost leak areas are circled in red. Recommend putting clamps or zip ties on them.

That vacuum line looks as if it was changed recently!! Check the brake fluid reservoir to make sure its on the Full line! Master Cylinder Reservoir cap is on wrong.  Z

It all appears ok. Just seems strange to hear air vacuum like that lol. Brakes were done right before I bought it. Maybe was put on wrong then?

I would monitor it and if it gets louder or the brake feel is not good I  change the hose for a peace of mind especially @ that price point.  Z

I saw a thread you had the same issue? Did you have any boost leak or car not building full boost ?

That line has nothing to do with boost! It only works on vacuum related to your braking system IIRC!
I don't recall the thread! Do you have a specific link! TIA.  Z

Oh ok I thought I read it had some pressure when under boost. And the gray double circle piece I assume is a check valve stops it from going back into the system. Idk lol. This was one I was referring to if it works.

Vacuum Hose Connector!!

Its from my understanding that the hissing sound is normal but only to a certain extent or volume......

It could be Two issues causing the higher than normal hissing sound!

1)Rubber vacuum hose leaking.

2)Grey plastic/vinyl check valves from Vacuum Tube, Manifold - Vacuum Supply.

In my case it was indeed the black rubber vacuum hose which was leaking due to heat exposure without any performance issues IIRC. Best of luck.  Z
