Guys,

Recently after swapping my turbos to -9, i can hear this soft whistle sound when i take off mostly on 1st and 2nd gear....

is this something normal or should i get it checked???

It sounds like one of the trucks that have whistle sound, but this is not as bad as that....

any ideas guys?

Sounds like a boost/vacuum leak of some sort.

I'm assuming you've checked everything is tight and not leaking? Silicone Joins/Intercooler Piping/Intakes/Bolt on the turbo housings...

Matt

Yeah, the turbo's been professionally fixed....

It was fine before the swap, just happened after the swap...

I'd take a stab it'll just be the turbos themselves mate.

you've gone to turbos with bigger wheels, and they are steel not ceramic rear.

They do "whistle" a bit.

If i didnt have the aids at the moment i'd tell you to come around and i'd tell you in 30 seconds lol. But im stuck in bed :(

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
