well I took Greesha out for a spin last night after logging his car, and gave the car a good hammering in every gear, which has now caused a problem
upon putting your foot down in low gears, you can really hear the turbo spool and almost a whistle to it (as if its over spooling), with a loss of power
At first I thought it was the manifold goosed, but this is more of a blowing/tractor sound, and the same with a loose gasket as well, so I have ruled this out
I checked the connection onto the top of the turbo when I got back last night and this appeared to be fine. All connections on the TIP are also fine, but I am led to believe if it is a connection to the TIP i.e. the DV, if this is loose its more of a hissing sound.
I have not been able to check the connection of the TIP to the intake of the turbo yet (engine was a bit hot last night!)
performance of the car is currently down, feels slightly laggier and is not holding boost as well. You can definitely feel it tail off in 3rd, as with before it was pulling to the redline
boost leak, or turbo goosed?
I must be cursed, as something always goes wrong days before the AMD RR
