Hi Guys..

Just curious.. i'm gettin this wierd noise during startup when it's cold.. it sounds like the turbo is hitting some sorta leaf.. and making that wierd sound.. as it gets warmed up the sounds lessens n lessens but it's still there. Very noticable on cold start. Also sounds like an exhaust is coming out form the front. Just wondering if it's a turbo problem or a leak somewhere in there??

What do u guys reckon?

Thanks

Ces

Haven't checked my gasket.. an Update though.. i rerranged my catch can setup.. n white smoke started coming out of the exhaust.. i let it run 4 a while n i'm hearing gurgling or boiling sound inside the intake pipe off the turbo.

I switched back the way the old Oil catch can was setup before and the white smoke is lessened but i'm still hearing gurgling & boiling sound...

Stock 13 to 13.5 Psi...

U really think it'sthe Turbo??? i thought it might just a turbo gasket leak.. i don't think it has done any damage to the engine.. cuz i haven't driven the car.. all i did was rerranged the setup and it's been park there the whole time..

what about the exhaust leak.. manifold gasket?? or Turbo seal.. it's white smoke not black smoke.

I get the cold whistling problem in my car. Mine is caused by someone snapping a exhaust manifold stud off causing a leak through the gasket, when the engine is hot the metal expands closing the gap... I don't have time or money to take off the manifold and drill out the stud.

No a Kettle/boiling sounds is coming from the Pod like someting is cooking haha.. dunno if it's water or Oil??

take your noodles out of there! lol nah idk whats going on mate sorry i got u worried with the turbo but good luck with trying to find whats going wrong

Ok Kettling/Boiling sound is gone.. there is a leak between turbo n dump pipe. I can still see white smoke. On startup it's not evident but as it gets warmed it blows white smoke.. i think it might b the Valve seals??? What u reckon?

Ok update.. on Cold Start up. .no White smoke.. then after it's warmed up.. i took it 4 a cruise n upon hitting boost a lot of white smoke is coming out.. smells like oil.

I looked @ the Dipstick it's half way to what it's level it's suppose to be.. is my turbo really gone???

sounds like the turbo seal is gone and the white smoke and oil smell is most likely oil in your exuast due to that turbo seal. same thing happend to my brothers supra

My car blows a little white/whit blue smoke so i no my turbo is starting to head out the door.

But it doesnt make any weird noises....only makes a nice loud sucking noise when accelarating hard....sucks harder than a $2 hooker haha

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.
    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
