Hey guys,

Pretty much as the title spells it out, I get two random turbo noises from my car. One occurs under hard acceleration and it sounds a bit like it's rubbing, it comes on instantly then backs off straight away but it's a funny twangy sound to the normally smooth whine.

The other, which I have a video of occurs when the throttle is released after accelerating. Sounds as if the turbo whines up and then down and it gets noticeably louder, try to listen in the vid when I come off the power... Is this normal?

Cheers

Nick

Get on to Jetwreck... He can save you.

Edit, its either highflow time, or I have a stock turbo here if needed.

Great... Something that can be claimed under warranty?

Warranty won't cover the full value of labour & rebuild. Better off doing it properly, and going with a proven replacement.

Ah FFS,

Can't exactly afford a turbo replacement and a tow truck to Sydney... Might risk it and get it home, then I can deal with getting it sorted out. Anyone had experience with turbo's going and getting warranty, kinda new to both games.

Jet wreck what can you recommend as far as getting it fixed/replaced?

The car is getting sorted out on Wednesday. The dealer I bought it from, Nagoya, have been extremely helpful in making arrangements for a warranty assessment and the subsequent turbo rebuild, and hopefully it should be sorted in the next week or two.

Cheers to Jetwreck for the advice!

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
