guys,
i have a concern about my turbo... it seems to be whizzing a lot more than usual, before, you couldn't make out the whizzing until it started up at about 2000rpm, but now i hear it spinning up at about 1500rpm, all i do is touch the throttle and it you can hear it whizzing, on top of this i can hear it whizzing when i decelerate at low revs too (less than 2000)!
Thing is it pulls ok, just wondering if there is a leak or something somewhere, i can recall seeing puffs of smoke coming out of a crack near the catalytic converter last week (where the downpipe joins it unfortunately), could they be related, there is no sound of leaking exhaust before the cat.conv i guess it would be quite noisy, but the turbo seems to be whizzing a lot more than usual, any ideas?
thanks
noisy turbo

I have owned a number of these cars and turbo noise has been different on each, my brother had a Volcane TD which sounded like a two tone siren My current Xantia has a pronounced whistle, my old BX turbo uset to sound loud on cold mornings, I would check the exhaust though.
