Hey

Two weeks ago i installed a screamer pipe on my stock turbo [for shit n giggles] but after it was on when i boosted it i could hear a high pitch spool noise like from a upgraded turbo. I was told it was my turbo dying by a friend. Today i put my stock dump back on and the sound was gone, do you guys think there is a problem?

What should I be looking at, intake side or exhaust side of the turbo? and what specifically should i look out for?

Pretty sure it would've been an exhaust leak. Most likely the turbo -> dump connection. Those bolts are common to rattle themselves loose, I reckon 1 or 2 of those might've been loose, then when you put the dump back on you tightened them up better.

Do you remember any of the bolts being loose when you put the stock dump back on?

Maybe have a look at the turbo intake piping and the cooler piping, might have a leak.

Does the car idle and boost fine? no missing or anything?

just went to fill up and get food and i could hear clicking noises when it started to spool and loud clicking on boost.

the car is my daily, should i still drive it carefully or just leave it until i change the turbo?

it made the ticking noise for a month before i change the dump. its just gotten louder since i changed the dumps.

i have a spare gasket for my dump but its one of those crappy paperish ones. should i just put some gasket glue in it and see what happens?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
