Leak Or Turbo Problems?

[Black_CSR]

Hi Guys..

Just curious.. i'm gettin this wierd noise during startup when it's cold.. it sounds like the turbo is hitting some sorta leaf.. and making that wierd sound.. as it gets warmed up the sounds lessens n lessens but it's still there. Very noticable on cold start. Also sounds like an exhaust is coming out form the front. Just wondering if it's a turbo problem or a leak somewhere in there??

What do u guys reckon?

Thanks

Ces

Exhaust coming from the front sounds like an exhaust leak. Jack up the car, get someone to hold a rag over the exhaust, and have a look for a hole.

No idea what the other sound would be without listening to it firsthand though.

Check your gaskets? are you getting any weird smells? this hapened in my old car... check mainly mainfold gasket and turbo and exhaust... there cheap to buy so yerh. hope that helps

Haven't checked my gasket.. an Update though.. i rerranged my catch can setup.. n white smoke started coming out of the exhaust.. i let it run 4 a while n i'm hearing gurgling or boiling sound inside the intake pipe off the turbo.

I switched back the way the old Oil catch can was setup before and the white smoke is lessened but i'm still hearing gurgling & boiling sound...

what turbo r u running? if its stock then how much psi? coz i think i have the same problem.. and it aint good news.

start looking for a new turbo....

[Black_CSR]

Stock 13 to 13.5 Psi...

U really think it'sthe Turbo??? i thought it might just a turbo gasket leak.. i don't think it has done any damage to the engine.. cuz i haven't driven the car.. all i did was rerranged the setup and it's been park there the whole time..

what about the exhaust leak.. manifold gasket?? or Turbo seal.. it's white smoke not black smoke.

white/whiteblue smoke generally means turbo. is there like a wooing or cracking sound comming from the pod?

[Black_CSR]

No a Kettle/boiling sounds is coming from the Pod like someting is cooking haha.. dunno if it's water or Oil??

I get the cold whistling problem in my car. Mine is caused by someone snapping a exhaust manifold stud off causing a leak through the gasket, when the engine is hot the metal expands closing the gap... I don't have time or money to take off the manifold and drill out the stud.

Ok Kettling/Boiling sound is gone.. there is a leak between turbo n dump pipe. I can still see white smoke. On startup it's not evident but as it gets warmed it blows white smoke.. i think it might b the Valve seals??? What u reckon?

[Black_CSR]

Ok update.. on Cold Start up. .no White smoke.. then after it's warmed up.. i took it 4 a cruise n upon hitting boost a lot of white smoke is coming out.. smells like oil.

I looked @ the Dipstick it's half way to what it's level it's suppose to be.. is my turbo really gone???

sounds like the turbo seal is gone and the white smoke and oil smell is most likely oil in your exuast due to that turbo seal. same thing happend to my brothers supra

Shouldn't be too expensive to fix, just a new turbo and the labor.

My car blows a little white/whit blue smoke so i no my turbo is starting to head out the door.

But it doesnt make any weird noises....only makes a nice loud sucking noise when accelarating hard....sucks harder than a $2 hooker haha
