turbo noise help
« on: September 23, 2013, 06:37:51 pm »
hi just want to check if this noise is normal or do I have a boost leak as I have never owned a turbo motor before, basically when I accelerate in any gear I get this shhhhhhhhhhhhh sound then when I let off the gas I get the DV pshhhh noise. the shhhh noise is always there when I accelerate and I can only hear the noise when the window is down also.

The noise has always been there since I've owned the car so I don't have anything to compare against noise/power wise. I have checked the DV and the PCV and all is well, car is all stock too

thanks

Sounds like a normal turbo sound to me to be honest, if you could post a vid and let us hear it it may help determine if it is normal.

That's boost shooting back into the intake post MAF sensor ;p
It's a good thing.
