On Full Boost

[Rav]

Hey everyone,

Just a question for everyone.

When my car is on full boost ( 5psi ) it makes a sound like " eeeeeeeehh "

sort of sucking in air sound, thats the best i can describe it.

Is this normal? or am i being paranoid?

Thankyou for your help.

Maybe your pod? Do you have one installed?

[Mavric]

Possible cooler pipe has popped off i would have a look at that...

are you blowing any smoke???

It sounds like it comeing from the pod thats why i was a little scared becouse before the pod is the turbo.

Na i dont think there smoke.

[cln]

is it a sucking sound? if it is its just you're pod

[inark]

its called induction noise very much normal... probably even louder cause u have a cooler too.

[Rav]

I know the sound of the air pod, But when iam in high revs and its on full boost it makes like dis diffent sound.

Best to take it to a workshop... Could be turbo. Dont give it too much stick and go get it seen to

leakin bov

Yea maybe ill let you know about that one because i got a after market one and i am gonna put it on tomorrow.

[adam-__-]

Can a bov leak at 5psi? Never heard of that before, unless it's stuffed up bad.

[abu]

Its just like impossible to know what it is without hearing it.

You will get 50 different possibilities and it will probably be none of them!

Definitely not BOV, nor cooler piping according to you.

Best to take it to someone who knows what they are doing and hearing, and they will be able to tell you within a minute of hearing it.

Good luck with it.

Thanks,

Abu

isnt induction noise a shhhhhhhhhh sound? eeeeeeeeh sounds like exhaust manifold gasket or turbo gasket.

[Rav]

Today i change my bov and the car is going alot beta but is it bad if it flatters on low boost?

[adam-__-]

Nah I think it's okay. My car doesn't open up the bov (stock one) unless I get over 3.5k rpm and it flutters.

Please don't ask if it's gonna damage your turbo.

[LTHLRB]

let it flutter its life out.. iv been runing mine on over 12 psi for over a year and a half now, iv been running it on 14 psi with no bov with this new engine, no prob, drift nights with breaks only to change rims, no probs, hard street driving, no probs

[DjeMz]

running 20psi + flutter

no dramaz
