#1: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 1:41 pm ---- Apart from loss of power , mine still works and makes werid noise high revs but can hear another bad noise with it ?
Is it safe to drive and wot could it be ?
Im thinking a bearing .
Would it still be going fast if its going ?
It still pulls well though the same.
#2: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 1:58 pm ---- I checked if mine was running fine via a boost gauge make sure the boost was around what it should be.
You could also Check the pipes both sides to make sure there is no oil leaking out of the seals,
#3: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:01 pm ---- It goes well and can hear it the same so you think its alrit ?
surely going or gone one wouldnt pull same or hear it the same ?
Check the pipes sorry for being stupid i duno where it is lol i dont know about these things

#7: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:18 pm ---- even though still hear turbo and goes well ?
#8: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:19 pm ---- what do you mean still hear the turbo? that is the turbo making the whine lol
#9: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:21 pm ---- ive heard loadsa turbos on youtube that sound hell of alot worse , just saying still works same if i drive low revs cant hear it atall.
Mean how serious is it ?
Getting pi**ed off with this car now and no way can afford new turbo.
#10: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:24 pm ---- if it was me I would personally keep using it till it get worse, could go on for ages yet potentially?
having said that im not sure of what damage is caused if your turbo falls apart when your doing 70 on the motorway?
im not a turbo expert lol
#11: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:26 pm ---- yeah fu*k it i aint got no choice cant afford new car or turbo, so have to carry on then. Thats wot i was thinking might go on for ages the same. Is it because got it chipped to 115 bhp if i take box off would that help or not you think ?? Too much power ?
Then saying that really high milliage and i have no proof of any new turbo ever and its 2000 w reg.
Thats the other thing though doesnt happen in 5th gear really just high revs or lower gears so going 70 on motorway probably wouldnt notice it much.
#12: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:34 pm ---- look on the bright side, at least it doesnt sound like this
#13: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:37 pm ---- Do you think would help taking box off or makes no difference ?
probably is just way over due new one probably nothing to do with that chip.
Yeah have seen loads alot worse ones so im thinking it will be ok for ages if i drive low revs its alrit cant hear it atall.
#14: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:41 pm ---- Meant to be driving low revs anyways with this chip
mabey thats all it is lol
#15: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:47 pm ---- just seen one sounds same says sounds like down pipe is blowin wotever that means ?

Follow the pipe from the airbox you will reach the turbo, then pipe goes from turbo into engine. Remove the pipe and check for oil in them. (big black plastic pipe)
#17: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:56 pm ---- ok thanks , so hopefully will just be the pipe ? that wouldnt be much or hard to fix would it ?
#18: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:01 pm ---- Could have a leak that would make a noise, but checking the pipes for oil is a good place to start, oil in the pipes might give you a good indication turbo maybe on its way out.
#19: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:03 pm ---- holy s**t thinking bout it when i changed the whole airbox that big pipe at bottom did have a split in it lol is that all it is ? how hard are these to change ? cheap job ?
#20: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:07 pm ---- A split pipe would make a noise, I know it would as mine currently has a split in it now and makes a racket.
Mines cracked just befor turbo.
Take a look and if you can tape it up see if it helps. Get a new pipe when you can.
#21: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:08 pm ---- alrit thanks whats thats pipe called ? you know how much they are ? il tape it up to see if that helps and see how long that lasts.
cheers. Last edited by eddrj on Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:12 pm; edited 1 time in total
#22: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:12 pm ---- Ummm if its the same pipe we are both on about would be called air intake pipe I would think, there is one before and one after the turbo.
#23: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:12 pm ---- split pipe gives more of a rasp then a whine, split will make a noise though usually
#24: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:14 pm ---- ok cool cheers mate. yeah does sound tha same
big black pipe at bottom under the airbox .Looks like good news ive seen the big split in pipe thats probably all it is so dont need new turbo.

#28: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: adam_16v, Location: KentPosted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:48 pm ---- Mine makes a noise when coming off the accelerator, like a rasping. Actually sounds like my mates leon with a recirc valve?? Possible split pipe?
#29: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:21 am ---- thats weird noise is stopped cant hear it anymore
didnt do anything to it either .
#30: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:23 am ---- oddly enough, sometimes the threat to actually fix a problem is enough to make it dissapear lol
#31: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:24 am ---- yeah well confused seems ok now
#32: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:26 am ---- only things i did was take off engine cover and plug back in egr but surely that cant be it
#33: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:26 am ---- why was your egr unplugged lol?
#34: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:28 am ---- because does and did make slight difference less its all in my mind who knows ,
werid thing is been unplugged for ages just started making noise few days ago , really did think new turbo time .
Mabey was since tuning box fitted week or so ago and didnt like egr unplugged didnt mind before tuned though strange.
#35: Re: how can you tell when turbo is going ? Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 5:32 am ---- Some of those blown turbo videos
I thought my turbo was damages/worn but it's just a boos leak to the intercooler. Makes a bit of a whistle at idle.
