So I was moving my throttle cable around the other day so the hood wouldnt come down on it (I hae a 3sgte) and afterwords I took the car for a little spin and the turbo started making a squeeling/squeking (i cant spell) noise. My first guess is the turbo is leaking cause it seems to be losing boost, but i just got the car recently and am new to working on engines so any help on how to fix the issue would be a HUGE help. Thanks

Do you have a boost gauge?
What's your vacuum at idle and what is your max boost in 3rd/4th gear? -------------------- _Gary

Like i said i am very new to all this stuff an got this car with the hopes of learning a lot. It has an greddy timer in the dash and i dont really know what the max boost is in 3rd/4th gear. It seems to be making the most noise from 2nd-3rd and 3rd-4th. As for the Vacum at idle i dont know, nor do i know how to check it. |
