hey guys, i tried a search but nothing specific came up.
When my car starts to come onto boost it makes a hell loud airy noise and sounds really bad, not from the motor or anything, just the turbo, it used to have a really nice spooling noise but now it just sounds dodgy and is only boosting to about half of what it usually does.
Wats happened is my standard turbo failed and i needed one asap so i brought a kkr480 because it basically fell into my lap, so i got that put on with some custom braided lines etc..
So the turbo has probably done about 5000kms and about 3000kms of that was from my step dad who drives like a granny.
The turbo has been good until yesterday when it started doing this... i thought it might be a turbo gasket as it felt a bit like when my 180sx done a gasket but the turbo is basically new and it has a metal gasket so i cant see it being that.
Then i thought it might be loosing pressure somewhere in the induction side of things but i cant find a leak... no hoses have blown off...
now i know most of you guys think these turbo's are crap and your probably right but i was hoping some of you may have experienced something like this so i can fix it until i get a new turbo again...
any help would be great, cheers
