Turbo Whine - Is this acceptable?
rob-2 replied to rob-2's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
Well the noise difference is because they are not the same turbo. We pulled of a TD04 and I put on a VF40. Which apparently has a bit more flow and slightly slower spool. Since the turbo was replaced prior to 59K this is probably why I had a rebuild in my future. -

I've logged and I'm getting my 16.5 manifold actual pressure so I'm not leaning towards a leak. It might be different blade designs. The entire core was rebuilt so maybe it has a different sound profile. The OEM has more of a rattle, this doesn't but has a whine/whistle. Just wondering if it was cause for concern. -

You might be right. It just doesn't sound like the one pulled off. There is definitely a louder noise. My wife, shop and I noticed it. A whine or whistle while approaching and holding peak boost. Wind and road noise make it hard to record. Just concerned I blow this turbo, take out my motor and go insane in the process. This car is so temperamental. -

correct, a rebuild. The shaft play was minimal, there has to be some or it seizes. Shop inspected it and said it was good. -

My wife describes it as a whistle. Maybe better audio here. It's hard to catch with the iphone it seems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCodWV4UtWQ&feature=youtu.be -
Hi guys, just had a rebuilt turbo installed and there is a whine while under boost. Attempted to shoot this video. I've got a 1 year warranty on this turbo. Shop didn't seem overly concerned and called it compressor whine. Stage 2 16.5 target boost. Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wSah3YzKrw&feature=youtu.be Notice it twice when I get on and off the gas.

well I've got a low idle and a little stumble between 2-3k out of boost so I'm running the b12. Put a full can in just over half a tank. Might be a little techron additive in there but figure it wouldn't hurt. Lady and I are hitting the road tonight for a little trip and I should burn it all this weekend.

I really like this look. Is it possible to get the trim in black so it's black on black? -
