is it definately the turbo? there could be a very small chance that it is one of the belts (fan, etc) slipping with the sudden increase of acceleration. then once they heat up they are slightly stickier so they grip a bit better. worth a look atleast.

If you can get to your in take tube easily take that off the turbo and see how much end float you have. Just grab the turbo shaft and try and move it back and fourth. There should be a little bit of end float so don't be alarmed if it does move a bit. (Do this when the engine is cold and stopped). If there doesn't seem to be much end float you may have a leaking intake manifold gasket. A easy may to check this is to start your engine and let it idle, get a can of aerostart and LIGHTLY spray it around the intake manifold where it bolts to the haed. if you have a leak it will be sucked into engine and you will hear your engine start to run a little rough and maybe increase in RPM. (Try not to spray aero start any where near electrical conectors eg injectors). As i said you will only need a little bit of this stuff to notice a difference in the way your engine run, so don't just keep spraying it around for the fun of it, as it make's a hell of a mess.

Hope that helps mate.

manifold turbo gasket bro

if ur real unlucky turbo but go with the first 1

have a look around the flange for black shit as a sign leakage

thanks for that ill do that the squeal is actually a screeching sound hopefully its what you guys say it is

    • That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.
    • Hey guys, need help figuring out why my driver side (RH) fuse 15amp keeps blowing. The Driver Sides Headlamp is out, i replaced these a long time ago with LED ones that were working for 1-2 years. Now, the driver side light is out and i traced it back to a broken fuse. I replaced the 15 amp fuse in the engine bay and as soon as i flip the headlight on, it blows the new fuse. Any idea what's going on?
    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility
