Yup found it. I guess my licp wasnt liking my boost so one of the clamps blew off. it was still in tact but when boost was about to hit the air will leak through the rubber hose.

Well it was yesterday night wich really sucked. i was on the side of the freeway. thinking i blew a spark plug, but then i drove it and saw it only happens when im about to hit boost. I checked it at night and everything looked plugged in right, so i wanted someone else to see it (big mistake).

I was with my friend June which she knew a guy with a 13 sec turboed hatch on slicks. Which he said he used to drive a gst which he said are crap cars. but ok i pop my hood he takes a look at it, and right away he critices my car. Said "why are you recirculating? that is worthless only people who autocross should have it like that, its only to keep your turbo spinning and blah and blah"
(touches and checks my maf) "your boosting too much, these cars are only good up to 14psi, (i have it set at 15) it cant handle anything more than that, your probably boosting like 18 or 20 and your car cant handle it, early detonation you need internals and blah blah blah" then he said (which got me pissed) "im surprised you havent crankwalked your engine" (i was like WTF?) But i couldnt be rude because i asked for him to look at it and i dont want to argue with him since he sort of doing me a favor, (it was like midnight).
At the end he said "just hook your stock boost controller and it should fix it." So it basiclly helped me ZERO.
So this morning i looked at it clearly and found it. Thanks guys for replying.
