hey guys today i noticed a weird noise when giving my car, at first thought i thought it was jus something loose rubbing against the car, but later in the day i saw that the car wasn't boosting properly when the car made that noise, and on comming home the car was back to normal. When it had the noise the car wouldn't even go past 0 on the boost gauge. Help what could be the problem. Thanks in advance.

sounds either like

a boost leak
leaking gasket, either turbo or manifold related.

my guess, leaking gasket, at wich a certian temperature the gap is noticable to.

check out the rubber joints on your intercooler piping, you may have blown a clamp lose...hmm but this doesnt realy explain y it boost normaly again later on, could be that your wastegate is sticking open sometimes.
