[benj88]

[jamie_clioGTT]

i want yellow boost hoses :cry:

nice job boys..

[Bass J]

Well last weekend we fitted my old turbo technics stage 1 t2 turbo to this engine. Its doing a weird thing on boost ..its chirping! ..spoke to markey mark on the fone he said the boost was too high ..so we turned it down..it still did it. Then me knowing the actuators set to 10psi ..we just straight piped the actuator to the carb and it still did the chirping ...has anybody got any ideas?

[Bass J]

:laugh: Has it only done it with this turbo you have just put on?? could just be the fact different type of turbo different compressor stall sound.

[Bass J]

aye only since he fitted it.. its my old unit ...it ran fine on my engine. which we thought was weird that it did it on his. His old turbo didnt do this on his engine either.

[reco]
