I'm not sure which sound you are talking about. One I can hear is noisy belts. Another sound I think I can hear is where you open the throttle VERY QUICKLY and you get a CHOOF sound upon opening it. If you hold the throttle open does the sound keep going? Really doubt its your turbo.

Sounds like a big leak to me, or loose belt, but gas leak more like, see if there's any black burn/carbon marks coming out where manifold bolts to head. Just sounds like it (reciprocates) every engine fire/ second rotation

Thanks for the reply I know the belts are the next thing to be changed I guess I'll have to check out all the bolts

As for the turbo yes iv

Driven it around when I did it and a day after I also did put a stainless steel front pipe so I think that might be it?!

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
