Boost Leak - CONFIRMED RED TURBO PIPE GONE - NOW FIXED

[Rhyso]

And if you had a boost gauge 

hmm thats a thought - wonder if the bung for the take-off in the EGR has come loose / off 

[DarkGti]

turbo problem?

[Rhyso]

turbo problem?

thats worse case scenario so less of that talk please

Time for hybrid then,  Can we get in carried out before saturday?..

The worst case is a is a crack in the turbo which is opening up under load and extream heat bleeding the boost off and leaking oil into the hotside.


How many times did it do it? and is it still doing it?  If it keeps doing it you need to try and get a sniff of the white smoke to find out if its oil. water or fuel bore wash.

Won't be going hybrid as i would need an uprated intercooler then

had a look and there wasn't any oil splattered over the turbo and when revving when stationary there's NO smoke at all 

the noise appears without fail at 2500rpm and goes by 3000rpm

Had a look at all the pipes but couldn't see anything obvious - will check again in the morning for leaks.  I'm hoping its something simple such as a perished o-ring around the intercooler pipework

so do I mate

Thats what my car does, noise disappears after 3k and pulls harder

is it a full on hissing noise like a boost leak would make?

mines like air rushing through the system, then it clears and pulls harder
