Title: Epic turbo noise..turbine
Post by: travisreeve on 13 March 2013, 20:56

Hi guys.. I have a 20vt in my mk1 golf AGU k03 turbo.

When i boot it the turbo spools up and then seems to make an epic turbine kinda sound pretty dam loud aswell. Im taking it this is a problem the car seems to be boosting okay but i have no gauge to confirm this and some times in 4th 5th at low revs the car seem to want to judder

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated :)

What intake you running ?? A cone filter will make the turbine louder.. if enclosed intake you shouldn't really hear much.. You checked for boost leaks ?? and correct boost ??

Could be a turbo bearing

Think he means he doesn't want to risk running the car to take a video mate.

remove the TIP and see if the shaft has any movement. a little movement up and down and side to side is fine movement in and out is not

Is the noise on boost or as you come off?

As it hits boost.. Its not a faulty turbo as i have no power loss what so ever the turbo spools up then i get a massive turbine sound from it.. Going to check boost pipes over weekend

might sound stupid but could it be a wheel bearing. They can sound like an aeroplane turbine and often get worse with speed.

Whining from the turbo will be damaged of fatigued blades, possibly some debris has gone through it!
