snow05gtRI Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I just put some parts on my car (cobb DP, grimmspeed exhaust mani's, crossover, up, perrin TMIC) and I'm getting a funny squeak sound. I brought it to a tuner today to check it out and he tells me it's definitely not an UP leak as it is not a screaming whistle that gets really loud at high RPM. he seems to think it is normal operation and safe to tune. think of a squeaky belt (the pulsing squeak sound) but much quieter. I am looking for someone to just take a short ride in my car that knows what normal sounds should be coming from a modded LGT. My logs look fine apparently and the car feels fine, but the noise is just yelling NOT RIGHT at me. So i'm just looking for a second opinion on it so I can stop thinking about it if it is in fact normal. I've retightened the TB hose to the IC, but thats all I've tried so far and it didnt help. if anything i feel like it got worse, but thats probably just placebo effect because now i'm listening for it all the time. I'm going to VT tomorrow (I guess if any of you VT people live near Burlington, thats where I'll be weds/thurs) and coming back to Boston Friday afternoon. I could meet with you possibly that Friday if I get back early enough (got plans in the evening) or I could meet with you on Saturday afternoon (plans again in evening) or Sunday morning/afternoon (gotta work Sunday night at 8pm) I would seriously appreciate it for anyone to help me ease my conscience haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eblues70 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I had the same issue with my Perrin TMIC, I removed the TMIC, inspected all parts, then reinstalled it, the issue was the weak rubber portion going to the TB. Try placing a little lube on the rubber pieces when sliding it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ean611 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Snow, That may solve things, but if you still need a second set of ears, let me know. /Conveniently located in Waltham too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjk77 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 you can definitely listen to my newly moded stage II and compare. granted we didn't install the same parts, but it may help you? let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 If your going to take the hose off the TB, remove the rubber ring down there and do not lube it up! There is a white dot on the hose, it faces up at the 12:00 position. Get some new gear clamps too. FWIW, I don't trust that O ring supplied for the turbo side.......it did not fit well. If that is leaking, a Moroso/Felpro Chevy thermostat housing gasket works good. That is what I used on my X02 connection at the turbo. I'm free this week end to look at it, just let me know.

GTTuner Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 yes my dog is a chemical engineer Hey, this thread is looking for a "smart" person, your avaitar says your a dork?:lol: (jking) Speaking of chemical engineers and dogs, one time in chemistry I took a sample of my dogs saliva and grew it in a petri dish. My professor freaked when he opened it up and I told him where it came from:lol::lol:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjk77 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 thats more microbiology than chemistry. you should take some of your own saliva and see what grows. chemistry is more like: H2O + O3 --> H2O2 + O2 or my favorite: 2Li + 2H2O --> 2LiH + H2 + O2 (think BOOM!)

GTTuner Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 That why he freaked! Kind of like the metal shop teacher in HS getting pissed because we all made crack pipes. Don't you know you can't say "Bomb" here!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjk77 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 i didn't say bomb. i said BOOM. boom is not not necessarily the sound from a bomb. it could be a sonic boom for instance. also, there are f bombs and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
