Help! Engine/turbo Problems

[benny_blanco]

Hey...

on the way home just then all of a sudden, the flutter noise from my turbo was much louder and sounding like it was comming from the other side under the manifold, not the side the turbo is like normal. The Engine is an FJ20DET. The car still drove allright though, so i managed to get home ok.

I looked inside the engine bay when I got home, not knowing much bout engines I dont know what to look for exactly. Everything I looked at seemed in order though, no oil leaking or coolant anywhere.

anyone have any suggestions what could be wrong with it and if it sounds like something simple and cheap or expensive...

Checked old / perished vacuum hoses to gate, BOV etc?

GO THE FJ20DET!!!!

[benny_blanco]

nope, but will have a look @ the lines now.... could it be something to do with the waste-gate even?

[GeeTR]

Could be, but seeing as your saying your getting more flutter, i would think your BOV isn't releasing as fast / much air as once before; hence looking at the lines to both BOV and waste gate.

You haven't mentioned any drop of power, change in engine characteristic?

thanks for that, I found one of the lines had come undone, took it for a test drive just then, all good as gold

thanks for the suggestion
