Turbo dying
Hi All
Not that mine is, i dont think, but how would you tell its on its way out? Smoke, noise, certain behaviour from engine? Thanks Johnny |
I'm also interested in hearing any opinions on this aswell.
my MY01 wrx turbo is on its way out I think. even when the oil is up to temp, the first time i boot it ,it sounds like ermm:confused: the best way to describe it is it sounds like a lollipop stick in some bicycle spokes, if you know what I mean, but second time of turbo use and there after is fine. but if I drive off boost for too long then go back on ,then first time I get the noise again, but fine again after.

mine makes a similar ticking noise occasionaly

My old Montego Turbo, (don't take the piss!!!) went t*ts up, this showed by massive smoking on overrun, and after ticking over for a while, abit like failing valve stem oil seals. My 420 gsi turbo went too (unlucky are'nt I) this showed up up by a metallic clicking on boost, due to a crack in the turbine housing which the impeller was just touching. Hoe this helps a bir!!

The last time my montegos turbo went, it put F1 cars to shame. I completely obliterated the Tay road bridge in smoke. Than god it was 1am.;)
