Without knowing the noise i'll give you a couple of scenarios:

A/ If the turbo was you received was not clocked correctly theres a good chance the either the exhaust inlet is not tight or the intake pipe in not aligned prperly causing a leak.

B/ If the turbo is a bush baring have they drilled out the oil feel banjo from the block?

C/ Did they run a flush through the engine first as these cars if not serviced properly can have bad oil feed problems? I gather you did put new oil in?

D/ The turbo has not been built properly so the wheels are rubbing against the housing.

If the waste gate is not working properly it wont make a noise......it will however either generate boost at WOT towards the end of the rev limit or will develop to much boost.

P.S. Regardless......all of the above means the turbo will have to come back off.

Free spinning turbo. Just as I turn off the car I can still hear the fan of the turbo spinning

Loud clunk noise when coming off boost....

If you can hear the turbo spinning after it's shut down; that's a good thing. Well balanced, good cartridge.

As for the clunk; not so sure. Wastegate snapping shut, bov opening?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
