turbo whistle?

[utah_pure]

a whistle.... sounds kinda cool but not sure on it? been a while since i had a TD when i start it up but dont notice it while driving it didnt do it earlier i lol drove it for about 2 minutes with park break semi engaged i didnt realize it as i had released it lol so help me out so i know if this is a problem or if its fine

thats one of the benifits of having a turbo!...its fine

[utah_pure]

so when i give it gas and it is a whiney whistle while in park its ok what should i start worrying about?

[87DANCEonYOU]

if its whistleing its ok thats what turbos do lol....if ur blowing smoke out your tail pipe then worry

[utah_pure]

this whistle sounds like a police siren lol, but is strong as an ox so... no smoke just the sound is not how i remembered turbo's sounding? runs good tho so normal? or just typical turbo spool?

[87DANCEonYOU]

is the exhaust fully on ?? is it a stock mitsu or garret?...my stock garret sounds like that i sometimes think a cop is behind me

[utah_pure]

lol catback exhaust imma swap mufflers but its fine tho fairly new, but otherwise stock

so that means its fine then? it pulls like a ox though havent looked to see if its a mitsu but im guessing its a garrett

make sure you get a airfuel gauge and monitor your fuel....make SURE you have enough gas!!! later man

My buddy's rebuilt TurboCoupe sounded like a police siren when he drove it. Worried me a bit. I've heard lots of turbos spool, but never one that loud or high pitched. But a year later the car still runs fine, so. . .

One of my good friends bought a 96 GSX. The turbo didn't whistle, it whined, it sounded allmost like a supercharger LOL. It turns out that one of the fins were bent majorly from injesting an object...

It sounds like the compressor fins are rubbing against the aluminum housing.. Time for a new turbo

My GLH Turbo whistles more in cooler weather; not so much in warmer weather. Car doesn't blow smoke. It's been doing that for about 7 years and not had a problem.

I think it's cool!

[utah_pure]

lol yeah i think so too but every one seems to have a different opinion on it, who knows it runs great i was just curious about it as i was not sure and it scared me as i thought i was being pulled over first lol but it might be just a cold weather thing it does have a cat back exhaust too so?? but no smoke runs strong spools quickly

[Raymont]

My buddies GSX didnt have any problems either, shaft play was minimal, seals were good, but it just sounded like ass... so upon futher investication, we found that one of the fins were bent majorly. It must have made some turbulance noise or something cause other than that the car boosted fine!!!

Is the intake on and the same asbefore? i know K&N filters make it louder and iknow right now (well awhile ago before i blew trans up which i havent fixed yet) i had no intake at all (stright from turbo) and i know its bad but i wanted to see what it was like lol. But it is so loud it can hurt the ears sometimes. And u can hear it far away sometimes before u can hear the exhaust. But its fine when i put theairbox back on.
