I always let the car warm up for about 5 minutes though if a little bit of throotle is given the noise appears. this does not hapen when the car is in nuetral that's why im guessing its the turbo. after about 5 min of driving the noise goes. im htinking its the bearing in the turbo. has anyone had the same problem or heard of this problem be4. I recently got this car 4 months ago. could some1 also tell me if it is the bearing how dangerous it is to the turbo and prices to get it fixedthanks all and I hope some1 could help me Edited 04/07/09 02:12 AM by ZAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it sort of sound like when you put a beg in a bike wheel? Edited 01/07/09 11:35 PM by IEATV8S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt I could get in on audio or video. Also my car feels like its down on power but I cant be sure untill I get it on a dyno.
