supra_aero Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Triangle when braking normally means brake fluid needs topping up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 It does sound a boost pipe has popped off. When one of mine popped off after messing with it, it sounds like loud rushing air and the whistle of the turbo was louder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Not just induction kit noise when it comes on boost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 ive looked and everything looks fine apart from the electrics on the car a total mess and needs an auto electrician on it, hate it when idiots mess with electrics on a car and bodge everything together and mess it all up the standard air box has been "chucked" back in the car all loose and theres a filter in it im not sure if this is right but theres a part at the bottom front and on the top right side thats just open on the box , not sure if piping should be fed to it and its evertime im on boost i take it its just normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 So the front of the stock airbox is open and there's no top feed attached to the right side of it and screwed into the top of the radiator? Not sure if it would be bad for the engine as long as the filter is in there securely, but I'd definitely get those parts, or maybe even a new airbox. Speak to Keron.

ashbuster Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 yeah thats right mate shouldnt have had the original airbox on it should have come with the k&n type cone but was changed before the car was bought to me and i didnt check i thought there should be some pipework because it will be sucking all the hot air in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, definitely get the missing parts for it so it can work efficiently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 do you know a cheap auto electrician ? lol lights dont work on the dials and the cigerette lighter dont work and the light on it dont work and loads of other crazy crap been messed with I'm afraid not, no. Where abouts in the West Mids are you? Tbh, if you're handy with a spanner or electrics, you could probably sort the problems yourself with advice from here. But if you say it's a complete mess, maybe it'd be better to get a professional on the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
