Hey guys

Ive been getting this annoying squeal from the passenger side front brakes. Pain in the bloody ass, cant even stop without 50 people staring at me =='. I got the shims changed, and the problem still exists! Im bloody fed up. Been happening since i changed the pads to QFM HPX performance pads. I sprayed anti squeal behind the pads and the noise dissapeared for a while (a day at most), then came back worse than ever. Just got new shims for it today, but obviously i just wasted my money. It starts squealing after 3 ks worth of driving, so when its initially cold doesnt seem to squeal.

Can someone please tell me what the bloody hell is going on .

Additional info: brake fluids have all been changed, rotors machined. Sometimes the squeal will dissapear during the drive, then appear much louder. Also the squeal exists no matter how hard or soft i brake, its just a constant high pitched squeal.

Cheers guys.

No worries, I hope you solve it.

If you do - post back here the solution :thumbsup:

I'm certain others have had this issue in the past (use search function) and there will definitely be more peeps with this issue in the future

Did you bed them in?

I am not familiar with QFM pads as I run Project MU.

But the ones you got, I believe are light track performance pads.

They can take quite a bit of heat, at the same time need more heat then stock pads, to stop the squealing...

My Project MU B-Spec Pads squeal after normal driving until I get a bit more heat / hard brake with them.

Once they heat up, no squeal.

Tried bedding them in again, no luck, also tried to get to the pads but the bloody jack snapped =='
Worst luck. Harsh braking seems to make the noise disappear, light braking just makes it squeal. Need to late brake every time to avoid squealing. Ill try another set of pads i guess =[

Consider it normal for light track performance type pads.

But if it really irritates you that much, get a street performance pad.

Yea ill give some street performance pads a shot. will report back. cheers for the help!

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
