SORTED!! whine noise from induction?

[pickles]

Thats plenty mate,

Mine made this noise when I fitted the k03s to my AGU, Turned out the pancake pipe weren connected tidy and blew the pipe off lol Quick fix for though.

It could be soo many diff things, Just take the turbo intake pipe off and check the shaft yourself its a 5min job literally.

i will try this and get back to you

whats the pancake pipe?

its down on the drivers side of the engine m8 on the inside of the wheel kinda, just follow the piping from the throttle body throught the intercooler and ul see it.

update.........

1 bent fin


no play and spins nice, cant see any marks on the blades or the housing

not tried bending it back?

Looks like something has dropped in there IMO

aye the thought crossed my mind, even had the thin nose pliers in my hands but all my m8s were shaken their heads!

im thinking maybe crankcase pipe carbon deposit has shot through to the induction and hit the blades
or my aftermarket filter has drawn a little moist water? time to give the engine an oil flush and original filter ansd housing back on i think  :embarassed:

Definately foreign object damage, or someone has done it when fitting a TIP at some point  I would try bending it back as Wazzer has said, especially if nothing else wrong with it, or just replace the wheel rather than the whole turbo especially as you dont normally know the history about other second hand turbo's.

What you got to lose

What you got to lose 

nowt lol but its a highly balanced unit so even if i did get it stright it might be a little bit out of balance and end up damaging the seals and bearings

could i just take the nut off slide the compressor wheel off and replace it with just the tip off???
surely some one will have an old k03s unit with bad bearings and a good compressor wheel lying about or will this not work?

[Wazzzer]

you've just contradicted your argument

if you did manage to get another wheel it won't be balanced to the exhaust wheel so you'd be in the same position. I would bend it straight as poss and see how you go, can't be any worse than it is now

 :embarassed: dohh didn't think of that

but wont that weaken the blade and may snap off and go through the engine?

[Wazzzer]

should be ok if you do it gently with a bit of heat
