weird turbo question
hi,
i'm sorta in the middle of install my turbo. I have a F-Max setup. So far i have the whole thing setup except the fuel system. So for the time being the turbo isn't connected to the intake manifold. It just expels air out of the intercooler. I'm using my old K&N air filter setup until the weekend. Question though... i have this weird noise when i go WOT from idle, can't describe it really. It sounds like a mix between a screech and like high pressure gas(exhaust?) flowing.... Then again, from reading posts, i'm a little worried cause the symptoms kinda sound also like detonation, but i can't see why that would be the case... Please help!!!:confused: :confused:

you should try to get a sound clip. detonation sounds like small explosions.

This is about one of the worst things you can do. You've probably ruined that turbo.
With the turbo just blowing in atmosphere it means the wastegate never opens and nothing is there to stop the turbo from overspining, overheating, and blowing.

you really need to have the turbo installation COMPLETE before you go driving your car around... or you'll suffer the consequences...
