Noise from engine bay etc! HELP PLEASE!!
Just took the scoob out for a spin, being a nice day and all that. When you get to the point you want to put your right foot down and the turbo kicks in its makin an almighty squealing sound. Its boosting at approx 14psi so nothing wrong with the turbo i dont think.
Sounded at first like a wild animal was stuck under the bonnet(i did actually check if it was the neighbours cat LOL) - wish it was!.
Also i dont know if its me getting paranoid but the exhaust sounds like its blowing but it isnt - i checked it all.
Can anyone shed any light on the matter please

Im thinking of taking it to Prosport in Manchester to get it on the rolling road.
If i did this they would be able to tell what if anything was wrong would they not???
Does anyone have any experience with Prosport at all please.

really does sound like its leaking air, if i was you i would take the pipe off from the airfilter to the intercooler, and check for splits and cracks, its surprising how much noise a small split can make, it does go some!! save yourself time and money and have a look yourself.

If I was you I would take to car to a specialist to have a look. I only let one place lay their hands on my car Cotcomp Home Give steve a ring and im sure he can book you in. Its only up the road from you in Garstang.
Nothing wrong with prosport they have a v.good reputation also. Been on their rollers a couple of times and Pete knows what he is talking about.
