MRDOSE Member 1,195 Member For: 17y 27d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 18/07/08 10:38 PM Share Posted 18/07/08 10:38 PM recently got my turbo back from GCG after destroyin the bearings on it, been drivin round with the new one for a while now, cant afford a tune so been drivin of boost obviously, but last night after a fairly long drive I noticed I light scraping noise comin from my turbo which is amplified by my air intake so I no its the turbo and today on the way to work the same thing, but its not on start up, not on idle, just occasionally when accelerating.. is it fukd again?

Guest Saywhat Guests Posted 18/07/08 10:57 PM Share Posted 18/07/08 10:57 PM These things spin pretty fast I dont think they would make a scraping noise.Maybe its the volume of air rushing through your CAI that makes that sound. Mine does the same thing and has for sometime and it was just tuned and achieved the power in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont last too long without oil supply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When checking all the supply lines and the filter found filter not too bad but the actual oil supply line was blocked solid. Had it in the acid bath over night but was still blocked. Even the oil drain pipe was half blocked. Looked like was due to lack of oil changes and would of happened again if didnt check before fitting new turbo. Have a feel of your turbine shaft for excessive movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
