boo-st Member 5 Member For: 11y 2m 25d Posted 07/09/13 12:24 AM Share Posted 07/09/13 12:24 AM Hi all, I'm new to the forum,Have just recently purchased my dream car, (besides an FG F6)2006 BF tornado, Bionic Blue, 6 speed manual.Also its the only tornado I have come across with dual zone climate control :DCar is stock I believe, and when its warming up the turbo makes a clicking noise as it boosting,It is directly from behind the firewall drivers side,And when I say warming up I mean temp gauge is at 1/4 which is what its always at no matter how much I drive, so its definitely at operating temperature, It just seems too be when it isn't as hot.For example I will go for a drive and it will be all good, then ill turn it off and it will sit there for maybe an hour?Hop back in, temp gauge is still at 1/4, but only when its boosting, do I here a rapid clicking noise.It's got me worried, has anyone else heard this?My oil pressure at idle is 1/4, is this correct? and when driving at around 2k, It sits just over halfCheers guys any thoughts are appreciated!

Someone like XFT in perth will tell you what's up with the turbo at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No power is still fine, except when it seems to be warmer from driving for longer periods it comes on boost nicely without the clicking that's all,I will book it in and let you know what the verdict is!

boo-st Member 5 Member For: 11y 2m 25d Posted 11/06/14 02:38 PM Author Share Posted 11/06/14 02:38 PM Sorry to dig up an old thread but my car has been serviced and the mechanic said nothing about it, I have checked the cooler piping, all seems good.It was the 130,000 service, so I'm not 100% but I'm going to assume they checked turbo manifold bolts etc.Could this clicking noise be the middle bolts on the turbo? I read on this forum that if there loose it will make a clicking noise.. ill check this tomorrow.Basically even off boost it sounds like its sucking in air through dirty cloth almost, air filter is brand new. its definitely not a clean vacuum noise.. sounds like sand is flying around in a glass jar by being applied with pressurised air.. Anyway ill check these turbo bolts first, but any other thoughts, maybe the bearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't even hear separate clicks. Could it be an exhaust leak from exhaust manifold or the turbo bolts maybe? Does it match speed with engine rpm up and down?
