Well it must be the turbo, or the chicks at the bus stop

the turbo doesn''t kick in until u step on it! This noise is ALL the time! Might visit the mechanic tomorrow!

Visit the mechanic for sure, all the time is sounding like an intake leak, you might check the intake hose clamps first.

wherever the hell that is hehe

If u could tell me I'll have a look at it now

thanks

The big hoses that connect the turbo to the intercooler, then to the crossover on the motor.

Some guys have had troubles with hoses blowing off from extra boost the stanadard clamps arent so good.

Just make sure all the fat black intake associated hoses are ok, mainly after the turbo, cause they have positive pressure.

the ones after the turbo is under the fire proof cover??

[NT TURBO]

I think, the main prob was a pipe, black in color, 'bout 75mm in dia, connected to an alloy pipe below the d/side headlight, CAN, blow off with the factory clamp.

But any loose clamp on those intake pipework (also black like radiator hoses) could cause the whistle.

Hope that's a help, theres always the bus stop chicks theory.

I have a very annoying problem with my T in that when I first start her of a morning the belt squeaks like buggary. Its not slipping and only tends to do it in the colder months.

I heard on old tale that you put a little Sunlight soap on its ment to shut it up... DOES NOT WORK. I have even tried a little WD40 with no luck . When I wack some WD40 on it it stops but the next day when I start her again im back at the beginning.

Thanks in advance

same thing happened to mine. if its still under warranty, take it back and they will fix it up. if not, try silicon spray. I should work for a few days and then will probably come back.
