Whistling noise when in boost?

natedog7700 · 08-11-2018, 05:08 PM

Any idea what could cause this whistling noise? Its pretty loud at times and i checked the basic vacuum lines, inlets/outets. You can really hear it around 25 seconds or so.

sounds like a bad boost leak to me

When I changed my chargepipe it sounded exact same - in my case I didn´t tighten the bols enough so that little boost could excape. Check if chargepipe is broken and no loosey couplers etc.

Boost leak imo. Check to see that the chargepipe is properly seated on the tb. If that's not it, continue checking down the line....it doesnt seem like a complete leak as your diverters are still chirping. So its containing some boost but the turbos sound overworked. Take it easy on the throttle till the issue is found.

My two cents.
