  1. Well the noise difference is because they are not the same turbo. We pulled of a TD04 and I put on a VF40. Which apparently has a bit more flow and slightly slower spool. Since the turbo was replaced prior to 59K this is probably why I had a rebuild in my future.
  2. I've logged and I'm getting my 16.5 manifold actual pressure so I'm not leaning towards a leak. It might be different blade designs. The entire core was rebuilt so maybe it has a different sound profile. The OEM has more of a rattle, this doesn't but has a whine/whistle. Just wondering if it was cause for concern.
  3. You might be right. It just doesn't sound like the one pulled off. There is definitely a louder noise. My wife, shop and I noticed it. A whine or whistle while approaching and holding peak boost. Wind and road noise make it hard to record. Just concerned I blow this turbo, take out my motor and go insane in the process. This car is so temperamental.
  4. correct, a rebuild. The shaft play was minimal, there has to be some or it seizes. Shop inspected it and said it was good.
  5. My wife describes it as a whistle. Maybe better audio here. It's hard to catch with the iphone it seems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCodWV4UtWQ&feature=youtu.be
  6. Hi guys, just had a rebuilt turbo installed and there is a whine while under boost. Attempted to shoot this video. I've got a 1 year warranty on this turbo. Shop didn't seem overly concerned and called it compressor whine. Stage 2 16.5 target boost. Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wSah3YzKrw&feature=youtu.be Notice it twice when I get on and off the gas.
  7. Yup it's all thule. Setup was a PITA but it goes on and off easily. I want to say list is around $800 and I got my setup for about $190 at an REI garage sale.
  8. well I've got a low idle and a little stumble between 2-3k out of boost so I'm running the b12. Put a full can in just over half a tank. Might be a little techron additive in there but figure it wouldn't hurt. Lady and I are hitting the road tonight for a little trip and I should burn it all this weekend.
  9. The cabin is developing some rattles that drive me nuts. There is also a slight clunk over the right bumps. Everything suspension wise is tight though. 107K
  10. Chevron sells a fuel system clear or there is the redline product. Both are the two best cleaners on the market. I throw one in with every oil change. After 130K on the lady's beater I dropped in the redline. She asked me what I did to the car. It was running so smoothly.
  11. This is a good thing, since you have a more controlled temperature. The tranny is connected to the rad to bring it UP to temp faster.
