Ghosti NOT THERE!... THERE! Member 852 Member For: 16y 8m 16d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 28/08/08 01:34 AM Share Posted 28/08/08 01:34 AM Sounds dumb but you get a highpitch whining noise (alternator whine??) if you have your stereo on AUX with the volume up high.Likewise if you're driving at night with the lights, foggies, rear demister, etc on. Even with the stereo off.I'm not saying you don't know the difference between turbo whistle and a highpitch noise comin' through the speakers, just thought I'd mention it as one of my dickhead mates was like "WTF is that your turbo!?" when he got in the car and I took off with the AUX vol turned up lol.GL with it.

I had a cracked hose - the one that goes onto the throttle body. glued it back together now its fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
