first thing i notice when i turned my car on today and took off that my exhaust sounds alot louder than normal, kinda like the way it sounded before i had the turbo....so i ignored that but when i started spooling 2 things happen..1. it feels like i got more boost cause i feel it alot more now but i have no boost controller installed so i dont know how that happen. and 2 the one that is worrying me the most when my turbo spools it has the same affect but sounds completely different its hard to explain but it sounds like a supercharger......someone please let me know what is going on

 

Its hard to say. Ummmm do you have a boost gauge??? Are you running more boost now. The only thing i can think of this point is maybe the line going to the wastegate came off or busted. It maybe letting ur turbo spool up way to high. Check it out.

 

yea, check your wastegate line

are you getting any smoke out your tailpipe?

 

no smoke and i have no boost guage it was set at 6psi i believe but now i was drivin around a bit and it sounds very ricey like i cant give it full gas cause its too loud and my wastegate is recirculated.....this sucks ive never had any problems with the turbo untill now

 

Get yourself a boost gauge and find out what you're boosting at. Here is a cheap one: $33 www.prosportgauges.com.

 

thing is i dont even hear the turbo spool anymore all i hear is the exhaust but it still feels like the turbo is working

 

Hmm, you've checked all your vacuum hoses? Does the car idle normally? Have you tried a reset of your ECU and see if anything changes? Was your turbo brand new or used? Was your wastegate new or used? Have you checked your oil?

 

vacum hoses are good after i rev on idle i do hear a poping noise i nnever herd before, im going to try to reset my ecu in the morning, turbo and wastegate were used but are in good condition oil was changed about 2k miles ago but im going to check that as wel

 

check the hose between the wastegate and the Turbo.....and stop boosting for now....

 

how do i do that? kinda hard to stop the turbo from spooling even though i dont hear it anymore

 

your insane for running boost without a boost gauge on that car.

 

its easy to stop boosting, you drive slowly, don't put your foot in it, only rev it up to 3k. simple.

 

i never knew that.....thnxks HOTSHOT!

 

The next thing i would check would be ur downpipe and make sure all the bolts are tight. You may have an exhaust leak somewhere. Go through ur exhaust from your turbo, wastegate recir, and back. I know if had a pain with my downpipe bolts coming loose and i can hear my exhaust more.

 

i think its a blown gasket but hear are the symptoms updated.........loud idle. i give it gas and it sounds like a dragon roaring ive never herd anything that loud i cant even go past 3k rpms the sound is unbearable......no boost it doesnt sound like its coming from the exhaust it sounds like its coming from the uppipe im taking it to my cousins shop tomorow and have him lift it and check all the pipes.......and now i remember why i wanted to go with sds
