89 shelby 2.2 t2 help

[hogtownhustler]

my shelby has low boost around 5 then you hear a sound like air flutter cant seem to find a leak

[hogtownhustler]

anyone no this????????????

[slasky]

Do you have BOV on the car?

[89ShelbyGuy]

might wanna post this is the HELP section..probally get more responses!

[TIIAcclaim]

The air flutter sounds like compressor surge to me. If you have a BOV it might not be working at lower boost applications. I know I had one that would work fine after 5 PSI but under 5 PSI I would get compressor surge like crazy.

I,ve read that axle grease will seal the turbo flange to ex. mani. , you might try it on your swingvalve. No gasket is used on swingvalves.

Here is the gasket for the T3 o2/downpipe (bottom of page)

you can get gaskets. Look for one on a DSM site for a T3/T4 swap. They all use gaskets.

They have an turbo inlet exhaust gasket for $8
