Hi guys, I know this has been discussed in a few thread before, I'd just like some help identifying something.

Occassionally I get a high pitched squeal or whine from somewhere under the bonnet, hardly happens, I found downshifting into third or second and giving the car a bit of juice in high rev (3500 - 4000 rpm) and full boost makes the noise last for a second or so.

It's quite hard to replicate. Anyway from a few threads I have read people are recommending checking the turbo exhaust manifold etc for loose bolts and such.

I've taken off the turbo heat shield and not sure what to check. Most of the bolts were pretty tight already, I did notice that there was a bolt missing on the manifold and I'm not sure if there was an existing bolt there or not? Anyway I half screwed in a bolt in there to see, took the car for a spin, couldn't get the car to re-create the noise however I didn't notice a small chirp in second gear that may have been it starting.

Anyway, see the pic below. Is there anything in the pic I need to check, and should there be a bolt in the spot I marked?

that bolt is nothing...it just holds the heat shield on

when mine started squealing it was the bolts that hold the turbo to the manifold (the one you can see in your picture actually as well as another one)...I tightened it with my hand and it was good again for a bit...

just feel around the turbo and manifold bolts to see if any are loose...

Had a mates car do that and it was a tiny split in a cooler hose (was the elbow under the turbo from

Memory) it would only do it under full boost and the split was really hard to find.... Long shot but I you don't find the other issues then it's worth a look :)

Mine did this a while back, ended up being a intake gasket..

sorry, was that the gasket between intake manifold and the engine head or the gasket between the parts of the manifold itself? pardon my English, I'm from Russia))

Squealing is from tight or loose belts African Americanachi. Have a good feel of your visible belts. Maybe lay of the maccas. It could be your wife complaining. Mine does. Its a high pitched squeal the whole way there until her fat cake hole get filled. Nah kidding, she is a beautiful 5"10' 26 yro bitch! Or loosen your cam belt. But dont do that cos you dont know what the f**k you are doing.

same problem for a while things ive checked on inlet side cos that's where its coming from.the noise starts at about 7psi

manifold gasket.

disconnected factory boost gauge sender.

checked intercooler joiners for pin holes.

checked hoses for splits as this has happen be for to me.

even had a smoke test twice.

the only thing left for me is the pvc valve and hoses to the pvc

its a split hose some where i think cos it needs some psi be for forced open and whistle

I had pretty much the same problem as you have. I had checked all the gaskets and still could not find the leak. It was also happening at 7psi and above. I had replaced all my vac hoses & all new clamps. Finnally I made this up and found the leak in about 5 mins.

Remove your intake from the front of the turbo, Attach the hose with valve to the front of the turbo, pump up using compressor. (no more than 10 psi) You should be able to hear the leak.

(Engine off, It will not hold pressure long. Just enough to find the leak)

Parts used to make this are

1 right angled silicone pipe from old stock intercooler pipes (or from any auto store)

1 screw in tyre valve

2 hose clamps

1 plastic pvc end cap (bought from a plumbimg store)

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
