Just wondering if there any specific sounds to a turbo going? I have a S13 redtop and i am hearing a very loud farting (yes very technical term) noise, with a wistle coming form the turbo downpipe area. any ideas what this could be!? ---

check for exhaust leaks. if its a popping type of sound, where your turbo outlet/inlets connect to the manifold and elbow, those nuts come lose often and bam you got a leak. to see if your turbos hooped, just pull off the rubber intake off the front inlet, and the small elbow, and check for shaft play. ---

Yeah my turbo is making the same sounds, and mine is trashed, I’m thinking about driving it till it explodes so I have an excuse to buy an engine, my luck though it would only go out the exhaust and not even wreck anything. ---
