2015 EcoBoost PP, 6 speed, 32k miles, completely stock / no mods yet.
I was on a back road, thought I'd make use of the track apps and time my 0 - 60.
Launched the car, at around 5k rpms shifted into 2nd. Rode 2nd up to 6600 rpms and shifted. While I was shifting, or immediately after, I heard a fairly loud popping/banging noise.
I slowed down and drove normally. But now when I get to about 2k rpms and the turbo starts spooling, I hear a loud whooshing noise, kind of like when you disconnect a hose from an air compressor. The noise is constant when in boost, and goes away when off boost. The boost gauge on the dash never goes past 0 psi now.
Even when I hold the pedal to the floor, the acceleration is very slow.
I took a look under the hood but don't see any loose or disconnected hoses; and I don't have access to a smoke machine to check for boost leaks.
It's Sunday tomorrow, all the shops in town are closed (I live in a very small town in PA), and I'd really like to get this sorted by Monday before the work week begins; any advice on where to go from here?
Thanks in advance
