Title: Whistling turbo?
Post by: probedb on January 23, 2006, 10:26:17 AM
Hi all,

Finally got my car in a usable state and thanks to Pip at WGT for sorting it all, well except for the bill that is ;)

Thing is I finally put my foot down and the second turbo is making a rather loud whistling noise when it kicks it and is spinning. Is this normal? If not what can I do about it? I\'m not intending to do anything major to the car until show season is over this year so unless it\'s going to kill the car it\'ll wait.

I\'ve also discovered just how much fun boost is :D Don\'t worry nothing silly...overtaking is much more fun out on country roads now!

Cheers,

Paul.

Not sure if it\'s normal on a twin turbo, i Have a T88 single turbo, and when that starts spooling you can here the whistling a mile off lol!!

Hope that at least gives you a little peace of mind!!!

Cheers :)

Pip never mentioned anything and I had him check the boost out so it must be ok I guess....just wondered what it was the first time I did it!
