this is not right. SURELY?
« on: January 04, 2011, 07:26:34 pm »
this is not my first turbo golf with a k03 turbo but it is the first that ive tuned this far stage 2+

When i accelerate like any other turbo it spools and whistles as it should and is loud but i can hear what sounds like a bell. a ratling but higher pitched. Is this normal as to me im worried it may be the turbo internals. bearings maybe. any help is appreciated. also feels a litle down on power but nothing major and probably in my mind.

Stage 2+ 280.4 bhp ITG, Revo Stage 2+, decat, hpfp, THS intercooler, THS engine mounts, Pcv revamp, sportline springs, rs4 fuel valve, DS2500 pads and brembo discs, braided lines, ATE super blue brake fluid and more to come

Common, have seen many 2.0 tfsi engines do this now, mine did it on the way home today, datalogging shows up no problems. Im going to try and reduce ignition advance and see if it goes away, this is all I can think of causing it but its unlikely but possibly worth a try.
