R31Nismoid Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 When replacing the manifold/turbo gaskets, replace all the studs aswell. Your mad not too, and your likely to break 3-4 when removing the manifold anyhow. So replace them all now and be done with it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187341-tell-tail-signs-that-your-turbo-gonna-blow/#findComment-3457236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sly32 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 when my turbo went, it sounded like a supercharger, annoying wine sound drove me crazy, then i just boosted it real hard and back off soon as i backed off it went to the point of sound like metal was scrapping on metal not a good sound, i still had boost pressure though, if you think its going take off you intake pipe to turbo and feel the shaft and spin it and see if it makes noise then if not then its normally fine, but in your case, defently gasket, JV Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/187341-tell-tail-signs-that-your-turbo-gonna-blow/#findComment-3458630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
