took my car to air care today,i was going to insure it for the summer,after all the work i did,getting this thing back on the road,on the way home,it started to whistle,sounds like a super charger now,im getting plenty of boost,somone tell me that my turbos not going!!....

 

[Turbomini]

ok lol was it building boost before it started doing that?

 

[smkshow]

not sure,i just noticed it,cant say exactly.....i wasnt beating on it or anything....

 

[Turbomini]

umm whats done to the car?

 

[smkshow]

stock....,off-road computor,10-13 psi boost.....

 

[Turbomini]

well how long did it sit? and does it have new oil in it? have you looked in the intake to see if anything is in there?

 

[smkshow]

its been sitting off and on for over 10 years,i put all new fluids in it,new fuel lines,(2 burst on me)hoses,lots of other stuff,exept the turbo hoses!,...it was finaly running awsome,now this is happening,im just hoping its an air leak or somthing less catasrophic, i hear mixed reviews about the problem,i havent realy looked into it yet,i just parked it "again",for now....

 

[Turbomini]

the only thing i can think of is the turbo has a pressure leak or its going back from not getting oil then starting it.. and it spinning dry for a second.

 

[smkshow]

it sounds normal at higher boost,just a constant whistle at lower boost...but...who knows!!!!!!,im pissed!!....ill see if i can figure this one out now tomorow....

 

[Turbomini]

if you cant figure it out i have a TI garrette i'm willing to sell if you need it PM me..it only has 70*** on it.

Are you sure it's not just the turbo spooling up? lol.In my car when i get on the gas all you can hear is the turbo.

Depending on how open your exhaust is, a slight whistle may be normal. Are you sure it's just a whistle and not a howl? If your worried about the turbo, take the inlet hose off and check the compressor housing for contact from the wheel, but like I said, that would be more of a howl.

 

[crazymadbastard]

My turbo whistles at wot, do you have an opne element air filter and straight through muffler?

maybe you have this in your tail pipe.

 

[smkshow]

negative....its a new sound,never did it before,sounds normal when spooling,but now i can here a whistle almost all the time when driving,i think it was even doin it when i was off the gas and coasting down hill,definetly turbo related though............

 

[djtang]

Is the compressor inlets ducting intact (air filter to turbo)? I had mine take a dump, cracked in a not so obvious place, and my turbo's spool up resulted in a sort of whistling from the turbo area.

crazymadbastard, that turbowhistler made me laugh haha.

 

[vntshadow]

check your vacuum lines, sounds like a vacuum leak, but hear it under boost

 

[sx-4]

did you check the lines on the egr or pcv valve lines... i had one of those lines come off on my 92 daytona shelby iroc, and it was kinda of annoying , kinda of like a none stop blow off valve

Our turbo whistled when we first got the GLHS going after sitting for 6 years.
Pulled the inlet hose to the turbo and found rat guts =)
