Any idea what this sound is? (video inside)


Recommended Posts

As someone who's blown two stock turbos, I can say this does not sound the same as what I've experienced.

 

This was turbo #1. It sounded like rocks in a blender even with just a little damage where the blades made contact with the housing. Contact is contact - any amount means trashed turbo.

It does sound like a leak. Check that all hoses between turbo and manifold are OK and properly connected.

I'm going to take the air filter off my turbo tomorrow and check for shaft play. I'll report back. I'm hoping it's just a leak!

 

 

Good luck. You do realize that it isn't that easy to just check the shaft play, you'd have to remove your turbo inlet, which means removing either the turbo, or the intake, neither or which is that fun a job. Best bet if you wanna check shaft play is to remove the downpipe and check on the exhaust side. That's much easier to do than your other options, esp. since most people don't manage to get the inlet back on the turbo correctly =).
