Yesturday i put a boost controller into my car and am runing it on the normal psi,

its linked to a switch on the dash that i turn on and turns it to 13 psi but when ever i do it now even with normal psi it makes a very loud squeeking sound from the engine bay n i dont no what it is.

It only does it when i am driving but not when i rev it in my drive way, there is also no smell when it does it or when i have stoped

when the noise happens the car looses alot of power and runs pretty rough during hi revs

can some 1 please help

a guy told me that if could be the blow off value leaking cause the spring in it was f**ked which was understandable cause of pressure of 13 psi but i took it off and put a metal plate inplace but still does exactly the same noise and power loss

noone can tell u what the problem is without seeing the car mate...theres a few things that could be wrong...could have a boost leak..check ur cooler piping or like the first guy said it could be that ur turbo gasket is screaming cos the turbos come loose...anyone else with ideas??

When the gaskets leak, they make a high pitch noise, normally when they'er being revved under load (Accelerating up the street)

It's normally a small hole, that if on an N/A car, wouldn't make an issue, as it's easier for the gasses to flow out the exhaust pipe normally, but on a turbo car, a small pressure build up occurs between motor and turbo, hence, it forces it's way out the whole.

Could also be the boost controller is broken. Have you returned the boost controller set up back to stock to try that?

do u mean this part that could be lose? cause i have tried every bolt around there and i cant move any i have also checked every intercooler connection for holes and even spayed carbi cleaner on it at idle to see if it done anything

My brothers old turbo (on his silvia @ 15psi) made some terrible squealing noises under full boost, when he got it serviced they found that the fins on the compressor wheel had bent back and the air was not getting through properly into the housing.

It was more like someone with a external gate when it was squealing...

Hope this helps?

exhaust manifold bolts broken/loose as well as turbo gaskets are the obvious things. had same noise under boost, but i could still hear it when reving not under load. was initially an exhaust leak from the turbo dump but it came back after a while. had my exhaust manifold bolts and all gaskets replaced from that and the turbo and now the noise is gone.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
