apac77 Member 39 Member For: 19y 2m 7d Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hi there guys,So friday night I noticed a dramatic drop in my boost, and also noticed that the turbo when on boost is a lot louder than normal, kinda sounds like a supercharger if anything. Once I turned off engine I also noticed like a slight 'bearing' wear sound, kind of like metal on metal sound.Do you think my turbo is gone? Any ideas?RegardsStevo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34220-turbo-bearings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the hose off the front and have a squiz at the blades. At any rate, if its under warranty, drop in to Ford. It not, take it to your choice of workshop.

The fact that you can still hear this, would probably indicate that the bearings are OK Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34220-turbo-bearings/#findComment-521989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
