What went bang?  Find the cause of the fuel smell?

Lucien.

nothing's gone bang (yet). When I'm on boost above 0.5bar or about 50% throttle my turbo screeches like no tomorrow, Nath took a quick look at it last week and confirmed that it was the exhaust manifold gasket as well as the turbo gaskets. I've got some other crap to deal with too unfortunately (car's still running really rich, only getting 300kms per tank).

You're very kind Liam. Hope you had a great day! I rolled up at about 11 thinking that all the tarmac spots would surely be taken. Our family only wished to stay for a couple of hours because Maria wa

My car is exactly the same, except the whistle/screech is more evident at low throttle and once warm (metal expands closing gap) goes away. Already gone through replacing it once: time to do it again shortly :):rant::) (horrible, horrible, horrible job).

PFC on the way too... weeeeeeeeee... hopefully get some decent economy soon!

sounds like a similar problem to mine. at about ~7% throttle (looking at the avcr), i get this high pitch whistling sound which really shits me

not sure what it is :)

Most likely a gasket, probably on the exhaust manifold (they warp over time from expanding/contracting). Usually it means you have to get the flange resurfaced and new gaskets.

Up side is it should be easier with a single turbo setup (rather than the GT-R's nightmare).

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
