Did you also hear a Snap and a Crackle before the Pop?
If not, then 2 of the rice crispies midgets might be dead...

Stopped reading halfway down but obviously you lost a coupler or something in your charge system(bov flange/gasket, pipe itself)

My car always makes a pretty good POP when I blow off a coupler. It could be one down behind your bumper or something...

thanks to you guys that recommended the boost leak tester, turned out to be a slight gap in the piping/coupler coming vertically up my passenger fender. Fixed it, but still gonna stay out of boost til i'm tuned.

dont really understand why i should kill myself for asking a question because i was curious what the pop was.....but thanks to the guys that helped me out

Sometimes these connections come off and it is hard to see that they are apart. My setup has alot of piping in the fenderwells. Gotta use T-bolts everywhere and beads on the tubing.
