What should the turbo sound like on an 87 TII?
I don't know if it is supposed to sound different than a piston engine, but its alot different then my friends talon. Almost sounds really high pitched, and not like a spooling turbo at all. Is this the twin scroll sound? or is teh turbo about to die?
thanks

the sound, too narrow it down for you guys, almost sounds like a drill, or a dentist tool. just really, really, high pitched. It's probably screwed up, or fins eating away at housing. but i don't know.

even if the turbo is dying it'll probably still boost fine, your motor will just get fucked by it. As the turbo scrapes the sides it throws metal shavings into the engine, which will quickly ruin your compression.
All turbos sound basically the same, a rotary turbo is no different than a piston turbo.

If the blade is infact scratching the sides, and they are damaged, I would need a new housing right? How much would that go for? Or would it be cheaper just to buy a new turbo.

Im running a 3 inch pipe to a cone filter as my intake ( no AFM ) and at higher boost levels ( 13+ ), my turbo will start to sound like that too. Its always had a little bit of that "drill bit" noise though. Its nothing to worry about unless its loud and really annoying.
