hey guys, was at a mates house today and decided to put in a manual boost controller, went for a drive, put my foot into it just a little, it spiked... so i pulled over, wound it down... got back in the car, cruised for about 2 minutes then got onto a straight bit of road and gave it another squirt... it almost choked up, coughing and spluttering and so on, took my foot off... when i went to put my foot down again, i hear a noise like a siren, i look around only to find the sound is coming from my car... so now i cant make boost, no matter how hard my foot is on the accelerator, it sounds like its coming from the inside the pod filter... so i go back to my mates house and pull it apart, all the way down to the turbo blades, checked it and nothing caught in there or any of the piping, put it all together again but still making the noise... i took the boost controller off but still it makes the same noise...

SO... was just wondering if any of you guys have ever had this issue or know what it is at all... just lost my job two days ago so cant really afford to go and get another one... any help would be greatly appreciated...

Cheers

Guy

maybe, was a bit dark to finish the elimination process... so tomorrow morning ill check piping and all... spoke to hyperdrive and they reckon might be a leak on the manifold or exhaust somewhere... not sure, but the noise is really loud, like almost copper siren loud... just odd!

Be careful. If its the bearing then the turbo will be spinning out of alignment. Hence the fins are spinning into the housing. Slowly feeding ur engine small metal filings. Did the boost gauge move to like 10psi? or nothing? Blow IC piping = no + boost

yeah it did before it stopped... now it just sits on 0... wont go past it

If it was blown turbo, wouldnt there be smoke?

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
