Hey guys, just got myself a 99 S2 Stagea and i'm pretty sure the ex manifold to turbo gasket is gone, its stock as a rock and on full boost you hear a screech its not metalicy like a turbo but def sounds like an exhaust leak, performance doesn't seem effected it idles beautifully and if you don't hit full boost sounds good too, cant be fked doing it myself so wondering if anyone can recommend someone on Gold Coast or local area to do the work at a reasonable price?

Cheers.

I had the same car, with the same thing. Spent ages looking for exhaust leaks, turned out to be damage to the turbo impellor. the out of balance caused the screaching noise.

if you want me to pull your turbo off i can for some cash or beverages

i'm down in robina

i changed my dump pipe and changed the gasket while i was there

not too hard, just fiddly and annoying

Cheers for the offer Pipster will see how I go and yeah was thinking may as well throw a front pipe on, hmmmm had my first good look at it today, pulled intaek pipes off and that and checked pipes and clamps and may well be Turbo, reckon I have a noisy lifter too :( at idle the top is a little noisy, will have to drop the oil and see what happens, does idle perfect at 850 though and not miss a beat. Getting auto diff and transfer case serviced Monday just to be sure too

Really so it's a Stagea thing? i've had numerous turbo cars inc an s1 r33 and never heard this sound although the seller of the car did say when i questioned it "oh i thought that's how they all sounded" I know the normal intake sound but this is def different to anything I have heard before I thought gasket or impeller getting sucked into housing.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • 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)
