That, my friend, is called boost.

no you dumb ape, there is know boost, WHINING, not WINDing, it sounds like a shitty bov, it was running good boosted for about 4 days, now there is no boost at all...

check for boost leaks, and vacuum leaks

I thought you said it was blowing when you pulled the charge pipe off? It could be a boost leak, which would cause your turbo to push alot harder b/c the wastegate won't open since you are not showing boost in the charge pipes.

i trired that.... ill look again, i re did my IC w/ jbweld, but it seemed strong when i blew with my mouth, no homo, ill be ------- pissed if it has a hole, the video i made just sounds a lot like some youtube videos ive seen, ive never been able to have the bov actuate or any compressor surge at idle, why is that?? my mom bitched a lot at me today, bc my car hasnt been working for about 2 months and i ran out of money so my parents have been paying.... she thinks we should sell it and then she said no body would want to buy it bc its broken...

that high pitch sound sounds more like a transmission whine the a turbo failure. put your car in reverse and give it a good amount of gas and you will see what im talking about. about not building boost in neutral is becuase there is no load on the engine so its not building boost. thats very common on alot of aftermarket turbo cars. why do you think the invention of antilag was made? my crx would build maybe 1psi of boost by redline in neutral

emery 12-17-2009 11:28 PM

oh you wont ------- belive this, not only was it not building boost and kept making that noise just now, but i got pissed, drifted around a corner, and a wrench i guess i forgot about in my engine bay short circuited the transmission line to the car.... the clutch litterally fell out beneth my foot, car stalled, really eratic, and then i got home opend the hood and there was a ------- small fire... the whole line is caked with some yellowy oxidation and the smoke hurt my lungs. my 2003 car is pretty much fucked and i dont think my parents are going to buy me a new one.

i dont get it what does a short circuit have to do with a hydrolic clutch? and what transmission line are you talking about?

emery 12-17-2009 11:34 PM

is this normal? i know about the leak in exhaust dont worry YouTube - shitty chinese turbo, blown

emery 12-17-2009 11:35 PM

IDK! there was a fire, and then there was corrosion all over the clutch line,... ill take pics tomorow it was dark and the only light i had was flashlight and fire... but i smell like burn plastic,
