I took the car in for a smoke test yesterday and smoke began to rise from under the engine. The car was sent up in the air on ramps and the undertray were removed and the smoke was coming from the plastic air pipe that goes from the air filter to the turbo on the left side.

On the pipe I removed, I noticed it was deformed on the one side (opposite side to hole).
