Problem 1 of 3 - Funny Noise
Hi,
I'm getting a weird noise , at around 3000 rpm.
It sounds a bit like a large brass instrument being blown softly (!). , quite a low ptiched sound.
Sorry, crap description .. any ideas anyone?
Thanks - Mark

Thanks .. looks like dump valve then.
..
thanks guys,
actually , I replaced my old one, with a second hand one , when I rebuilt some stuff.
I guess the second hand one must be faulty.
(Is it possible to tell by looking ? .. it looked fine , but of course, that was when it was off the car).
thanks - Mark

Not sure you have the same problem if you say it sounds more like a loud scream but don't rule it out.
A faulty dv sounds more as Butty described it, "like blowing across the top of a bottle" or like an old school police whistle.
I know this is more of a common fault with earlier MY's but mine failed on a MY99 STI.
Do you know of anyone with the same dv that you could try ?
Best to check it out before you look at other possible more expensive causes such as the turbo.

It only happens occasionally, Most the time in 3rd gear and you floor it, and the boost kicks in.

Was the turbo removed ?
If it was maybe It's worth checking that everythings has been put back correctly, i.e. no leaks on the up or down pipe.
Check all the hoses that run boost.
Also worth checking that turbo heat shield is tight and not touching on anything.
