Loud turbo?

[Sandham]

Hi fitted my td04 kit yesterday i got from glanza sheeny, all seems well except the turbo sounds really whistley when building boost?

Ive meshed the turbo because i didnt have the correct size relocation pipework.. Could it just be because of this?

Mesh will make the turbo ALOT louder... Ontop of that it is much bigger then a ct9 too!

Get a video uploaded to youtube and link us up!

Are the blades chipped?

If the blades are damaged it causes a turbo to whistle its tits off.

Will do, and the turbo seemed ok to me but to be honest i dont have much knowledge when it comes to the ins and outs of one other than basics like shaft play

If you have a look at the blades on the comp wheel and see any chips on it then its likely this is causing it but as said above. Having no filter causes the noise to be more obvious.

Boost leak?

[Sandham]

Now its all fitted i cant really see into the housing but ill try have a look later when i change the oil and filter. Tried to video it but doesnt really pick the noise up too much. It builds and holds boost all the way through the gears and once it reaches full boost (0.5 bar) the whistling quietens off

There seems to be some play in the shaft but doesnt seem to be alot, the ct9 i removed had more.

Will just be because there is no filter mate if its building boost fine.

Its called epic noise, this is caused when mesh is used instead of filters because filters suck and ruine noise

Running meshed td and its an awesome sound.and the chatter........ohh my god!!

Sounds good I agree but I got far better airflow and more power with a well located filter.

I had a filter for rainy days and when i went up the beach, any other time i had mesh on, noise was outstanding. TD04
