Turbo Whistling After Being Rear Ended

[Atomnaya]

Hi guys,

I was involved in a accident, an old couple rear ended my GTT. Got it back from the repairs shop. Everything seems to be ok, except for the fact that now when the turbo kicks in, i can hear it whistling. It never used to do this before.

Basically the rear bumper was damaged, the boot was slightly damaged and the exhaust tip was damaged.

Could have the damage to the exhaust resulted in the turbo whistling? Could the exhaust bumped something near or around the turbo.

Sorry for the noob questions.

Cheers

possibly one of your mufflers is no longer functional - when I used to run straight pipe on my R32 it developed a noticable turbo whistle, mainly at idle though.

Probably pushed your exhaust and damaged a turbo gasket

Either a gasket is leaking, or the turbine housing is damaged and the blades are rubbing. Both could easily be caused by a hard hit to the muffler.

Claims Dept of your insurance company should be contacted with your Claim# in hand in light of above feedback.
