Turbo makes noise

Unread post by GORAX »

Hello everyone,

When I accelerate, there's a slight air noise coming from the turbocharger. It's letting air out somewhere it shouldn't. Where exactly is the air/pressure being released from the turbo?

Yes, it sounds like a dull whistling sound. Sometimes like bubbling.

Only way to find out is to methodically check the intake system piping all the way from the turbo to the manifold.
