Title: Turbo spooling early
Post by: bullzeye on 29 August 2012, 15:12

Since changing my cat last week I seam to be hearing my turbo spooling from 2k revs it's quieter then when it kicks in normally but when driving like a granny I can still hear it . The turbo is still whistling normally where it used to just this quieter whistle annoying me,

I am having over fueling issues at the min could this be connected
