Hi All

This might be a really stupid question but is the whistling sound my turbo (it's really loud). I've had quite a few problems with my car and since I fitted the HKS actuator it's made this noise, I don't know whether this is just the turbo I am finally hearing or not? All I've been listening to since I got it was boost leaks etc.....

Hopefully this vid works.

Oh ok, ahh do you think there is a problem with mine then? It hasn't picked up the noise that well as it is quite loud.

Can you let me know if your new turbo stops the noise please when you fit it?

thank you x

Well because of all of the problems I have had I set my boost to .6 so when I was fitting everything the boost wouldnt go through the roof before getting it tuned. I will see what happens when I put the boost up once last bits are fitted :)

It has only felt sluggish because my boost setting is really low at the moment so i wouldnt be able to tell lol!

Thanks, once again, guys :)

Socks - only running .6 as I had all the problems so set the boost really low.

Ollieh17 - No, I had a huge hole in one of my intercooler pipes but that has been sorted and the actuator I had on was shocking but obv that is sorted now. Its just really strange that I haven't heard this noise at all until now....

I've just sent my recording to my mate who used to own the car and he says it's always sounded like that so I'm just going to leave it for now and let him drive it when I'm back just to double check

I thought a boost leak noise would me more of a "whooshy" sort of noise (that's my technical term for it)

I have an electronic boost gauge but like previously mentioned it's set low anyway... I've got someone to come and have a listen to it on Monday just to be sure. We will see :)
