Turbo funny Noise?
Turbo funny Noise?
I changed the oil as it only had 3 quarts in the pan. Is there any way the turbo could be damaged if the car was running for a coupl mintues without the turbo drain on top of the turbo connected?
the kkk makes more noise then the stock turbo i had. is this normal?

To my surpise when i opend the garage the car had pumped 5 quarts of oil on the pavers below from the turbo drain!! and i shut it down right away.

the turbo doesn't spin very fast at idle so any oil at all should do the job
that line is the turbo feed line the drain is on the bottom

I forgot to mention that this only happens under a load like when im driving. When i have the car idle and give it gas its sound normal like my t3 did. but under a load i get loud whining/screeching sound from the passenger side above the dash.

02-09-2010, 07:51 PM #3It sounds like a supercharger now but thats only on acceleration and every time i get on the gas pedal.. When im crusing its fine. It just that i never hrard the stock turbo now the kkk sounds like a supercharger whine.

can you post a recording? also: what kind of intake are you running? is it stock or a open element?
as far as the difference between idle and normal, that is because the turbo doesnt make boost unless it is under load (more exhaust energy to spool it up)
