A couple weeks ago i started noticing a whistle in my engine area.But it only happens when i'm getting on the throttle.I've checked the intercooler clamps and their tight.Any other ideas?

 

its your turbo hahahaha . if thats not it then idk

 

good idea,i'll check it out tommorrow.

 

if you just noticed it i doubt its your turbo since you havent done any mods to cause this. you may have a boost leak. check you vacuum hose that comes out of the vacuum pump. when i rebuilt my engine last month i forgot to hook the hose up and when i accelerated it was louder than my big turbo

 

Where is the vacuum hose?

 

its on the driver side of the pump

 

I did some checking today and found the clamp for the tube that goes from the air filter housing to the turbo intake to be loose.tightened it and tested the truck.The wistle went away a little more,but i can still hear it a little.I also checked the vaccum hose and it looked good.

 

make sure there not a CRACK IN YOU BOOTS. my buddy though his turbo was junk just a crack in the intercooler boot.

 

thanks

 

I was doing some checking around in my engine area a couple weeks ago and i noticed that the rt. side negative battery cable was rubbing against the hose that is connected to the wastegate to my turbo.Could have that battery cable have rubbed a small hole in the waste gate hose and thats where my whistling is coming from?
