My front passenger axle is giving me trouble right now. It was seized in the hub so I had to order another knuckle from dsmgraveyard. And of course, nothing wants to go back on correctly. Looks like tonight is going to be a late night.

 

[kawboy]

You break a axle or what?

I finally got my car done. That was such a pain. However, even though I didn't touch anything on the turbo, everytime I go into boost now my car whines like it has a supercharger. You can still here the turbo spool up, which leads me to believe that it isn't a bad turbo. Plus, the turbo is almost brand new. It's weird.

That my friend sounds like a big ass boost leak... check your intercooler pipes. oh and i posted a few pics of my motor with some of the stuff on it... check it out and let me know what you think

Yea but the vacuum is right at 18 at idle. And it boosts 25psi NO PROBLEM. Oh and I looked at the pics. I like the external gate!

 

[kawboy]

Idk what turbo you have but I have heard 14b/16g's whine before they go bad.

I call it the death whine, have seen it time and time again.

Does it go away as you beat on it alittle? Ill put money on a big crack in the turbine housing by the wastegate flapper door. Typical sound, and its alittle bit of air weeping through the crack. Sometimes it will go away as the metal gets hotter and expands.

It is an FP 18g that is only a few months old.

It doesn't go away. Then again I have only driven the car twice for a short didtance. I will be driving it to work today which will be 2 hours round trip. We will see if anything changes.

edit: just a side note, there is no unusuall shaft play.

 

[kawboy]

Start off by boostleak testing it..

Are you feeding from the head or OFH? Filtered?

Oil filter housing. No filter.

If it dosent smoke, and has no unusual shaftplay its definatly a crack in the turbine housing by the flapper door, or a boost leak. Im leaning more toward changing the turbine housing.

 

[kawboy]

I don't see why a FP 18g would have a cracked turbine housing

Thats a 14b thing of the past.

Anythings possible I guess tho...

I will check that.

If it is a cracked housing, it better be covered under warranty.

 

[joyfil2001]

I have a blown turbo to O2 gasket. I think/hope that is the problem.

I had a 7cm housing do it, I havent played with those housings for awhile, but yeah anything possible, including a blown o2 housing gasket

Let's hope it is only the gasket. We will see. That thing is a bi*** to replace too.
