GlanzaJim Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 First turbo starlet and i have no clue. I got the car standard (turbo, top mount ) and it whistled loads thru the turbo. Since intercooler is on still does it. Is that normal? Sound of turbo spooling? Sounds like a jet lol. Changed knock sensor aswell and it feels different. Boost dont fully kick till like 5.5k and feels likes its holding you back. I havent even coverd the high and low boost tubes there just open. Do they need to be blanked off?

ryan lang Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 turn the boost down first. sounds like a boost leak. these standard turbo'd are getting on a bit now so the housing seals will start to be perishing etc. best thing to do really is either get another one second hand or buy a recon'd turbo. or recon your own if you can Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaJim Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Fixed the intercooler and now have no leaks what so ever. But yet still doesnt boost corrrctly. I so found i got like a 2 inch crack in the manifold. Will this not help it? Do think its the seals aswell, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Crack in your Manifold wont help. That will cause it to lag a bit x Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do think its the seals aswell, Yeah, a crack will reduce boost dramatically and will cause all kinds of boost issues really dude. Get pauls set up asap . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
