Exclamation sluggish 5th gear

Hi all,

Today I noticed my 5th gear lacks low end grunt. It takes forever to wind up boost - but if I was stomping 4th gear and keep the revs high, 5th gear boosts normally

I noticed a hissing noise coming from underneath TMIC. Would I have split piping and could this be the cause of my sluggish 5th gear? My 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears seems to boost at normal revs...
Any help would be appreciated, Fingers crossed it ain't a big prob


Thanks!

yes, I'd rather take option #2.
but one look of my engine bay and they complain "Woah, headache..."

Anyway, I am going to have to take me tmic off and look at the hoses.

Is there anything I have to look out for whilst performing this?
