2nd turbo leak ????
Hi guys,
I have a 94 FD with ~40k miles and awesome!
*but* only one problem....
when boosting from low rpm I get the dialed boost and no abnormal sounds, but when the sec turbo comes on-line I hear what sounds to be a leak......whistling sound !! ... always at ~ 4.5krpm.
Even when getting on it at 4krpm I could hear the 2nd turbo pre-spooling with the same sound.....and the noise remains as long as over 4.5krpm.
I've replaced all the vacuum hoses under intake, checked the bypass valve from 2nd turbo.
Mods:
Power FC, Greddy PE cat-back, downpipe, Greddy intake and Greddy pulleys with no air pump.
This noise has been there since the car was stock !!!!!
HELP !!
Thanks,
John D

Have you checked all of the nuts of the bolts that hold the turbos onto the motor? I had a couple loose nuts there and it was vibrating and leaking a bit of exhaust there. When tightened everything was ok. Very easy to identify when looking at the turbos from underneath. Make sure car is cool. G.....
