Turbo whine-doesnt seem to be leaking
I'm experiencing a turbo whine on my BEW that has me a bit worried... It started around the same time I got the stage 4 Malone put on a few weeks ago.. Sounds a lot like a boost leak, runs right with the turbo and dies away when you squeeze the boost line going into the intake on top of the engine.. I pulled the piping apart on the pressure side of the turbo and the sound did not change. Did the same on the intake side and no different. Any ideas what I may have going on? I also put the car on the lift and had someone rev it up a bit to build some boost while I felt around underneath checking connections for air escaping etc... I'm running a VNT 17, has less than 10k miles on it, Egr delete and 2.5" exhaust.. Also pd150 intake manifold.
