Hi,
I have a MY96 UK Turbo with ITG panel filter and Prodrive BB.
I just wondered how much of a whistle the turbo should make.
The cars running rough and the turbo has a fairly loud whistle when it first comes in at 3kish, so I’m suspecting a possible leaky Dump Value.
Can I take the Dump Value apart a clean it, is there any particular test to see if it is the DV.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Ian.

If the Dump Valve is leaking it tends to make a kind of "blowing across a milk bottle" kind of noise.
The turbo makes a very high pitched whine and the two sounds are very different.
