I have a HKS2530, recently had a new wheel put in by Hypergear and they gave it the all clear. After putting some oil through it and spinning it by hand I have noticed there is a bit of noise, don't know if its usual or what. Video is below:

The sound itself wouldn't worry me too much but I can even hear it spinning for about 5 seconds after turning the car off from inside the cabin.

Seems to boost ok but hard to tell since I need to sort out a few boost leaks.

Any ideas, this normal with a BB turbo?

Should also note that there is no shaft play.

I think HKS wanted that turbo to be noisy. see the surge slots on the comp housing. as in the angle of where they are and how they sits. this thing will be howling very loud when air pass by. Been told by our engineer that this turbo's going to make lot of noise.

I sent the core to Garrett for bearing analyze and been told its fine before went ahead with the repairs. it should be all good.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
