Pulled inlet pipe off turbo read below down the page.
Hi guys,
basically the noise its kind of like a quiet external gate with a screamer, but heres the punch... its only noticible (well really auditable) in first gear.
Car is boosting normal, all other vital signs are normal.
I can load it up in 3rd gear full boost and no noise. So im not thinking its the turbo. Im hoping its a gasket, but again i would think it would be consistant.
Either way its loudest in first.
Any ideas? It might be a gasket as its not doing very high revs when testing it in 3rd
then again, its not really noticible in second (although i think i can hear it)
any chances of it being in the gearbox, and only effecting first gear?
I did a search but it seems to be different, as its only really first gear. Which to me points to the box.
Best way to describe is a shriek, or close to an external gate with a screamer (but not that loud thank god)
any feed back would be great car is manual by the way
