Have I F**ked my Turbo?

[|PRESA|]

When starting my car cold its ok.. as it warms up the turbo begins to make a weird humming/hovering sound.. is that something to worry about?

Please HELP!!!!

Some services factories are quoting me $250 to remove the turbo $900 to recondition (if its ****ed) and another $250 to put it back together... f**k that!

does it create boost?

It will gradually get up to about 8psi if im in 5th at 80k..

but from 1st to 2nd.. and 2nd to 3rd it will boost to 10psi @ around 4500 -5000rpm then drop back to 8psi in the later revs..

does that mean anything?

Yer it means the standard turbo is shit,we all have the same problem.I have my turbo off to put on a HKS GT2535 and know wonder it drops off boost high in the rev range coz it's so small,me thinks it belongs on a lawn mower

Don't know what the noise is thou.

Presa, if i was a gambling man (i use to be but councilling has done wonders for me...) id say its nothing to worry about, its likely a $50m gasket from where to turbo bolts to the manifold, or perhaps the dump pipe to the turbo.

Replacing yourself isnt hard at all, and it will only cost you the $50 for a gasket... and a few cut bruised knuckles...
