Its deffo turbo as I took pod filter off blocked intake off by hand and noise quietened down 90%!

With the car switched off, take the air filter off and see how much play there is in the turbo shaft, particularly in the in-out direction. A small amount of up-down play is expected.

Also, spin the shaft to see if it spins freely and silently.

Do you have a dump valve fitted btw?

Let us know what you find. If nothing, maybe take a video of what's happening and upload to the RTOC YouTube channel.

Cheers for that Trev I posted on the Renault page on fb and it turns out its the restrictors that are missing in my new silicon breather hoses. I took one off form the turbo and the noise was coming through it blocked it and noise went!!

Happy dayz, just ordered 3 restrictors from cgb
