because of the great weather i decided to really get on it today and since the car has been babied all winter that may be the problem but i wanted to make sure. when i step on it the turbo seems to spool much louder than normal. i really noticed it when it was louder than my sound system. the car seems to be running great otherwise and is pulling hard as ever. just wondering if this is something i should be worried about. I do have a cobb sr and cobb stage 1 ots tune. these mods were done last summer though. any input would be great.
no one? its never spooled this loud and soon and i can hear the turbine spin like crazy. could it just be the weather (from like 30 degrees to 60 overnight) or could i be overboosting?
I get a loud kind of squeal when I'm at full boost. Not really sure if it has to do with the weather though. I think it's just my wastegate. I've tried to diagnose it as a bunch of different things but no conclusive answer. Hopefully its not hurting anything and your turbo is just loud. I wish mine was louder, like a F-350 turbo diesel. I can hear my neighbors from blocks away
lol, mine is like that now. it sounds kinda cool but i hope there is nothing wrong with it. you can deefinately hear me coming down the road now though!
its the turbo spooling, i hear air getting sucked in and i can hear the turbine spin like a whistling sound. its just super loud all of a sudden. its also spooling much earlier. in the morning it wasnt like that and later it just started spooling real loud. im hoping its just the weather. im gonna do a data log today or tomorrow to see how im boosting.
i was looking at the boost error. I wasnt sure if a positive number meant under or over boosting. i think i wasnt hitting target boost because i took my foot off the gas slightly at the end of the log. not sure how to read the rest of the log.
but that's no fun!
anyway since that day everything went back to normal and now i can barely hear the turbo spool. i sent my log to cobb and they said it was fine. my car gets moody i think :laugh:
