mikeyb10supra Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 just got my car back running again after a FMIC install and found a rather strange sound when coming on boost, I can only discribe it as the noise the air makes if you squeeze the neck of a baloon and it squeels out?? Any ideas, could it be a lose joiner?? Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 spray wd40 around the joints when revving it will show if you have a leak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Noticed any loss in boost? Black smoke? (this would indicate a boost leak), check the I/C piping bud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 spray wd40 around the joints when revving it will show if you have a leak I was thinking about doing this but mine is an auto so wont make positive boost at a standstill ive come to the conclusion that it must be the intercooler as it only happens once I start making positive boost.....sounds like aloud squeel thats the only way I can describe it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Definately an air leak mate, check all the hoses in the seq system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 sorted it now guys, one of the hoeses was at a funny angle so slapped another clip on it and its ok now Supraloopy that would have sucked big time and made me seriously mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dee_rz Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yep had it happen before and it was a boost leak, glad you've got it sorted bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I was thinking about doing this but mine is an auto so wont make positive boost at a standstill I can in mine. If you need to check for leaks like i did then try this. Handbrake fully on, left foot hard on the brake and give it some accelerator until you start making positive boost, you'll soon hear and air leaks. (Dont try this for too long though). Glad you got it sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
