mikey4410 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 When theres a significant boost leak you will here a very high pitched whistle as a pose to a scream. The whistle is the hall mark of a boost leak really.lol.My starlet had one huge boost leak when my pipe blew of and it made me jump and i panicked as i heard the whislte and thought engine had failed.

mattglanza79 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 My turbo was really loud. Now ive sorted u can just hear over exhaust note and induction noise. Is this right Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The noise thing depends on how loud exhaust is compared to induction or visa versa.lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattglanza79 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Even more confused now. Before was loud and kept creeping. Now not as bad but turbo whistles so can just hear it. Before you could really hear the turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 To me it sounds like you had a boost leak and answer that in what you 1st wrote, a high pitch noise while boosting that's stopped when the pipes were adjusted to me is saying you had a leak then you fixed it by sorting the pipe work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattglanza79 Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Confused more now. Since getting rid of what I thought was leak my dash green lights are playing up on light throttle/boost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikeyallgood85 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Boost leak test It! Get an empty spray bottle put a bit of washing up liquid and water in it, turn the car on spray the joins and give it a rev and find the bubbles! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
