Migz Member 80 Member For: 17y 8m 2d Posted 09/12/07 01:04 PM Share Posted 09/12/07 01:04 PM Now I wasnt sure which forum to put this under cause im not really sure what is happening yet.Took car out today, first time since friday ive been for a drive. All was going fine and dandy till I pulled out in front of some traffic. 1st gear normally gets me racing against the traffic via me being pushed back into the seat. much to my amazement - No boost. It was like driving my mums car...needless to say. I was like ohh sh*t. SO it seems like the engine is running fine. Just.. with out the turbo. Now im not sure if that could be a computer issue or a turbo issue or some pipes are just loose.And just now ive let it idle in my drive way. I can hear a faint whistling noise coming from the engine bay. Also when I was driving to try and figure out whats wrong in 4 gear I went to about 4 k rpm and I started hearing this faint rattling noise. all thru this cant hear any of the usual sucking in noises the turbo makes when I really plant the foot.and another thing. If I stick in 6th gear and do about 60-70k's .. it still makes the whistling sound that it makes as its just spooling up. that's kinda just random facts I figured out on the way home. not really in order... so if anybody has any ideas. would help :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migz Member 80 Member For: 17y 8m 2d Posted 13/12/07 08:32 AM Author Share Posted 13/12/07 08:32 AM Ahwell. Got car back from ford today. It took them 8 hours to figure out my turbo was in perfect condition and that my car was f*cked. :D so $374 later atleast I know whats wrong with the car. Also, aaron offered to sell me his old cat for $80 as opposed to ford who wanted $1700 for a new one. Into the mechanics on tuesday. gleeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to know what I might be up against.Thanx Edited 13/12/07 11:49 AM by freewilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
