+1,,its no use trying to take short cuts when modding these cars or it can end badly, male sure u make the right decision, even if it means u dnt drive ur car for a while

My turbo has a loud scream too.

Its a hiflowed 25 turbo on a RB20, Spools around 2700rpm. then at 4000rpm it hits boost real hard and squeals real bad.

18psi of boost.

No shaft play.

Will a leak in the cooler piping show up on a boost gauge? or becasue the leak is consistant it will not vary the gauge?

Using something like this, it will: http://www.cazracing.com.au/catalog/produc...products_id=101

I to have a whistling turbo that drives me crazy. noticed the whining and louder exhaust note after installing a stainless steel front pipe.when i take my foot off the accelarator it kinda sounds like theres some kind of back prssure if that makes sense. think one of the gaskets is stuffed or might even be missing a gasket. pretty sure thats wat my problem is unless any one can tell me otherwise?

ok guys, i just got my hi-flowed turbo installed, took it for a drive and its still making that noise, hypergear said it might be the gaskets any ideas, 2nd opinions? the noise is, putting my on the accelerator alittle bit it makes a tick tick tick tick, then hit boost, a high pitched sound.

Ill put a pint on an exhaust gasket. Manifold, or turbo-dump.

ya me to.

mani to turbo is the bet.

tighten up the bolts on the mani to turbo. also check the gasket, make sure it all still there. some of the gasket may have blown away.

tho looking at the above, you will have replaced the gasket when you put the turbo bak in...? same with the dump end?

boost leak? have you tested the it like this? http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mighty.../13/atretf9u-Mc

i'd triple check for any leaks in the inlet

my squeals like a baby being used as a squeaking toy when coming onto boost, but the reasoning behind that is im using a panel filter (stuck a pod on it to test and it stopped) so possibly restriction from the filter onwards?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
