[Supras] New Noise

[Walker, Brian (Rich. Dist)]

You haven't purchased a flowbee to do at home haircuts recently have
you? :)

Have you checked vacuum Lines? How does vac. look, is it 18-21 inHg? I
had a similar sound recently that I thought was a manifold leak or
something similar. Ended up being the flex section of my SS downpipe. A
hole developed between two flex ridges. I went from a mild noise to a
full blown separation along 1/2 of the diameter in about 2 weeks. Car
didn't have the same pull as it was disrupting the flow near the turbo.

I've developed a new noise that is a cross between a sucking sound and a
blowing sound (I know - weird). It appears to be coming from the rear of
the engine on the drivers side and only when the engine is under load.
I'm 99.9% sure it's not in the exhaust system (manifold, downpipe etc).
Aside from the noise the car runs great and boost appears to be OK.
Anyone have any ideas?
