Whine noise
« on: 09 March 2012, 15:40 »
Hey guys.
When foot flat to floor and turbo spooling, there is a very audible whine, how much noise should I be hearing from a AJM turbo.
Is my turbo on its way out or they just quite a loud turbo.

Cannot tell you for sure, however I drive 3 GTTDI regularly, 1x130 and 2x150's and they turbo whistle is loud enough to hear with the radio even on low.

Is it louder when cold, then quieter when warm?

I guess it maybe slightly louder when cold, I'll make sure I keep an ear open when I next drive it :smiley:
