Turbo

[SECURITY]

Spraying the turbo with WD40 will do nothing to help the situation.

Here is a potential cause.

Having a series 2 your turbo has a bakerlight compressor wheel, a very hard plastic and this could be scuffing on the housing making a squeek or high pitch squeel.

It happens because the shaft wears out and usually there is forward/backward movement in the shaft causing it to push forward on the housing or backward on the backing plate.

It will eventually explode and throw bits of plastic all through your intake soon if the noise is in fact coming from the turbo.

Or you could have a bird in there that is opposed to greater boost pressures.

Kind of like a Nissan Nazi Budgie.

listen to this guy - he knows ALOT about failed turbos.

also try pressurising the cooler piping to see if there are any cracks in your silicon piping. your mechanic should know how.

Yeah i'd go with the compressor wheel scuffing on the housing. Mine made a god awful noise after it let go, thankfully the cooler cought most of the bakerlight.

Could you see damage/marks on the compressor cover side? Or wheels slightly rubbed?

If not, then that's probably not it.

Being you said you had an exhaust leak, my bet is that what it was. Early stages of a leak are a squeak and eventually it becomes worse

This is exactly right.

Give the leak a quick spray of WD40 and it should clear up over night

I sprayed about 0.00007 cents into it. Just the fro nt wheel, then wiped the remains away when it went to the bottom. Meh, im more annoyed that one of the studs came out of the manifold.

To save me the run around and because i need my car for work asap due to my boss not wanting to pick me up everyday, where can i get a new stud and nut?

Cheers

dirty dirty mind...

try nissan man, I got new wheels studs from nissan and they were fairly reasonabley priced.

i read in zoo that wd40 stands for "water displacer - 40th attempt". that means it will fix your turbo.

stud & nut = coventry's (you'll have to find a part# first though...)

lol, i dunno interesting theory, all that time and money spent on tamponds and all they needed was some WD40

[WET-25T]

Mmmm vagina is nice.

Anyway im proud of myself, i know you all laughed because you thought i was trying to fix my turbo with wd40. Im not a mechanic yet i diagnosed the problem, which was in fact the gasket, i fixed it and at the same time sprayed wd40 on the turbo wheel. How i have a quieter turbo and no more exhaust leak.

Now i just need the manifold stud.

Thanks for the info on vagina stories too.

damn that WD40 works wonders

[bozodos]

LOL is all I can say.

had the same problem, I'm betting it will be exh manifold gasket, possibly missing a chunk like mine was, and you're either on too many or not enough drugs if you think WD40 will in any way fix it. Just chin up and go and get a Nissan one (they sell the bolts too, though mine is missing one, and dosen't leak.)

It won't break anything to drive it like that btw, it will just sound gay.

And the vagina is always in the front passenger seat
