Hey

Two weeks ago i installed a screamer pipe on my stock turbo [for shit n giggles] but after it was on when i boosted it i could hear a high pitch spool noise like from a upgraded turbo. I was told it was my turbo dying by a friend. Today i put my stock dump back on and the sound was gone, do you guys think there is a problem?

What should I be looking at, intake side or exhaust side of the turbo? and what specifically should i look out for?

Pretty sure it would've been an exhaust leak. Most likely the turbo -> dump connection. Those bolts are common to rattle themselves loose, I reckon 1 or 2 of those might've been loose, then when you put the dump back on you tightened them up better.

Do you remember any of the bolts being loose when you put the stock dump back on?

Maybe have a look at the turbo intake piping and the cooler piping, might have a leak.

Does the car idle and boost fine? no missing or anything?

just went to fill up and get food and i could hear clicking noises when it started to spool and loud clicking on boost.

the car is my daily, should i still drive it carefully or just leave it until i change the turbo?

it made the ticking noise for a month before i change the dump. its just gotten louder since i changed the dumps.

i have a spare gasket for my dump but its one of those crappy paperish ones. should i just put some gasket glue in it and see what happens?

    • This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.
    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
