so today i spent many hours trying to install this greedy intercooler and LICP. after finally getting it on i am now having problems my car. there is a whining noise coming from my car. after further driving on it home tonight i can here where the noise is coming from and it sounds like the j-pipe wich is the one connected to the turbo, with a gasket. it sounds like the air is getting sucked in and maybe boost leaking out of there and only partially spining the turbo because of lack of air? Or is it possible that somehow something got sucked into my turbo through my new intercooler piping and possibly bent a blade to the turbo? maybe even blowing the turbo =(?


someone help im hoping its jut the j-pipe and ill just need to get the correct tools to insure it is extra tight, and input is greatly appreciated.

 

Take off your intake so that you can check your turbo if the blades are damaged.Might have to replace your gasket.

 

the intercooler came with a new gasket, im just not sure if its tight enough.

 

can anyone help? please?

 

Did you do a boost leak test?

Sounds like a bad leak, probably at that turbo outlet pipe. Add a *little* bit of rtv to that gasket for a good seal. Teensy, teensy teensy film of rtv, not a ton.

 

ricky, its alex... just get the proper tools and tighten the two bolts on the j-pipe... call me if ya need help getting the tools!
