jamesh Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 This is doing my head in. I know its hard to figure it out just from a video but I need some ideas on what it could be. I have checked all intercooler pipes hoses turbo and all is fine. I have a feeling its the manifold but would it make this sound? https://youtu.be/YO-5V47TBkI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 You getting full boost? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Have you checked the dump valve hadn't got a leak? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesh Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yh car is still boosting the same as it has always beeN. No check it in what way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Take the air filter off the turbo and cover the turbo inlet up. Then start the car and if theres a boost leak you'll hear it suck through the gap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesh Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Will try that tomorrow and see if I can find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jamesh Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 could the alternator make that noise?? :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesh Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 I only get this sound when putting my foot down doesnt do it any other time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiley141 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Are you getting like a whistling/ squeling sound? I'm having that problem! Think there's a small hole in one of my inter cooler pipes.. The noise on mine starts at about 3k then just gets louder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamesh Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Found out what it was it was my manifold. As someone sold me a crap one where the bolt threads where damaged I had to make do with it. Between the turbo and manifold it wasn't a close fit so when I would put my foot down it was blowing from there. I would check yours as I did find a small hole in my Intercooler pipe but that ain't causing it. Got a good manifold on now and the car feels way better then it ever has :) Edited March 25, 2015 by jamesh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jamesh Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah I'm so glad as it was doing my head in and could notice I was losing power but I was still boosting. But now the car feels so much better Hope you find out what's wrong with yours smiley141 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
