[urq] Turbo/wastegate whistle: how and why?

[Brandon Rogers]

Sounds like you have a serious vacuum leak.  It could come from any number
of places.  Best thing to do is pressurize the intake system and you will
likely find it easily.  For a visual - I'd first check:

1.  turbo to IC hose
2.  IC to IM hose
3.  1.5 inch (apprx length) 90 degree bend hose at back of head to valve
cover breather

But seriously - just pressurize it and the leak will manifest itself.

Where exactly does the loud whistling noise under boost come from? i.e. how
is it technically possible for the turbo making such noise?

Could a shot WG diaphragm causing this whistle? I know I only have 0,45 bar
/ 150 BHP and the whistling noise is getting louder each month...

Also, could a wrong or wrong adjusted WG spring cause the turbo to whistle?

Any thoughts?

Thanks
