I went out tonight for a crusie on the way home I got on the car. Just befor the secondary Turbo comes on I hear a whistle then it goes away. Car has 90k all original only mod the car has is a Blitz intake. Car does not seem to losing any boost... Any Ideas let me know

Thanks,}

That's a tough one to diagnose on line. Any symptoms other than the whistle?

Like I said it's the early signs of turbo failure.
You'll see soon enough.

Watch and see if it comes back. I hope that it doesnt.

could be the air control valve

if the disc gets off place, it will whistle

The turbos sound kinda like a whistle when they are spooling too right? Or maybe mine is about to fail too

Oh Hell I dont know.... The Sound is back.. Seems like when the motor gets hot the sound begins.. I am not doubting any one but if the turbos are going why is the noise only for a second and then goes away... To me it sounds like a bad vacuum leak. But I am new to the rotary and new to Turbos as well...... Seems very odd... I think I am just going to pull them out and rebuild them any way just to be on the safe side... Any Ideas on where I can get the parts to rebuild them... Are there any places you guys can recommened?

If you're pulling the turbos off, you might as well go with a BNR twin setup!

Also, if it still has the pre-cat replace it with a downpipe. They clog and lead to turbo and engine failure.
