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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
