wastegate not sounding same like before???

[(NAS) starlet ep82]

Hi guys!

as my last thread i mentioned my car was parked up for a month & regularly start it bt neva moved in a month, other day i took it for a blast & noticed car has lost power & guage showing no boost at all..

mods are ct9 hybrid with screamer pipe, 0.8 bar, fmic.

UPDATE Now:

i have managed to find a split rubber pipe that connects to the FMIC piping so have changed this pipe & car boosts fine,

BUT my external wastegate DOES NOT sound the same like before & screamer pipe dosent kick in?? waste gate sounds more of a ''echo'' noise, not like a big tsshhh (bit like a d-valve)

anyone come across this before ???

asap

Thanks!

are u talking about the chatter noise? or is it actauly the wastegate/screamer not making the noise when your driving round at 0.8 bar

yh i mean the screamer & wastegate, chatter dont sound same either.. ;)

cant see why screamer would sound dif just because u fixed a leak on intercooler long as its still boosting 0.8 and not going any high wont be a prob tho

yh still running 0.8, bt no screamer sound, n diffrent sound from wastegate

hmm its a tricky one,

well anyway ive ordered some new hose couplers for intercooler piping, so will be removing piping anyway, so will get to hav a propa look at things whn removed pipes.

screamer sound and wastegate sound are the same ;) wastegate releases all the extra pressure from the turbo when you hit your set boost pressure down the screamer pipe so not sure what u mean by no screamer sound and diff sound from waste gate.

i understand the above, i mean i cant hear the screamer @ 0.8, n wastegate dont sound normal like it used to be..

once piping is all off i will inspect things, n get back on this thread..

& thanks for your time!
