    Hey everyone,

    Need help (again). I've done a search and hope I have found the problem but....

    I've noticed that the turbo(s) were getting a little loud on occasion previously, but now when I boost, they make a loud whooshing noise. I am not getting much boost on the stock guage and also feels sluggish. The car is not blowing any smoke at all which is a really good thing as it is currently my only daily driver. I found this post:

    What does anyone think this might be the cause or am I more likely up for a new turbo.....

    Cheers

    Blow it up....

    ...and listen for boost leaks... they can be ANYWHERE!
    Sounds like a boost leak... has your vacuum increased off boost cruising?

    Re: Blow it up....

    I'm gonna do that this weekend. I havent really taken notice of the vacuum, but its usually sitting just below -7 mmHg while criusing anyways.

    Sometimes....

    ...the vacuum will tip you off if there is a boost leak.
    Yup, blow it up then see. :)
    Good luck,
