Help Please Before I Make A Xr6T Bonfire

[evilpawn]

Gday all, as you can tell this is my first post here though I have been a member for a few months and have used this forum extensively (love the search button) but have come to a brick wall.

I live in Cairns and the tuners up here should be called tunas as they are more into speed boats and V8's so am iffy about taking my car to someone to have it sit there for weeks.

(last time took 3 weeks to get new turbo put on).

Any way info bout car. Is 103 xxx kms old and I bought it with 85 000 on it. Turbo replaced 10 000 kms ago.Is a 04 Ba MKII 5 speed manual ute and has been returned to stock when I bought it, dont know history of ute but.

Sorry for the phone quality video but cant find cable to upload from digi-cam. I also have a version done with the webcam from lappy but sound is crap.

Story is I went to drive it 3 days ago and it was making this noise Problem starts at 1000rpm and continues up to 4000rpm but under load will continue up to 5500rpm. Seems to be best heard at approx 50 seconds into vid.

I' ve pulled the front bar off and checked all the hoses for leaks and also checked the manifold bolts.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I was laid off work 3 weeks ago and not exactly flush with money ATM.

LOL cheers took em months for me to like them. I would prefer black but these are cool to sit on on a hot north queensland day :-)

I couldnt tell ya what it is but it sounds painfull

[xr6t 4.0]

mine was making this type of sound and found that my vacuum line to my bov was loose and was sucking air.

Maybe check that?

Sounds like an exhaust leak, check your manifold bolts, dump pipe and flange....

Mine sound similar when it gets up over 4k, could it be a f*cked cat?

Cheers will check dump pipe and flange bolts tomorrow.Hopefully is quick and cheap fix. Checked BOV and seems fine all pipes and hoses go to somewhere

Forgot to add that I removed the 2 pipes on the turbo side ( hard plastic one and the rubber one that comes from the IC) and started it and it sounded fine.

I didnt drive it but Im guessing its not good for it.

I thought it may have been a loose join from the pipes but checked them a dozen times and

it still sounds like crap witht the pipes attached.

Have you looked at the hard plastic one closely to make sure it doesn't have a small split in it somewhere, usually down the seam?

I have heard of this a couple of times now, can make some weird noises, check it out as its quick n easy
