[s-cars] whistle/whoosh

[Sean Douglas]

Are you experiencing loss of power? Check the turbo hoses, specifically
the turbo to cross-over pipe and the cross-over pipe to the intercooler.
The second one typically rots out from oil accumulating in the bottom.
This is a straight forward fix and costs about $100.

A bad bypass valve typically makes a "honking" sound. These are very
cheap ~$35.
