danielsemaj: its what turbos do Dan
I was gonna say that!
if you dont want it take the turbo out
that is totally normal
I Loooooooooooove that noise
oh right sorry about not all of them do it my mates doesnt and mine does.
have you got a airfilter?
if its overly loud it may be a boost leak, just have a quick look and check its not loosing presure.
What engine does your mate have?
his may not be boosting as it should? but as above if its REALLY loud it may be a boost leak but you would be getting black smoke out the back if it was leaking boost and power would feel really flat!
sounds good though dont it :D
Sounds good whistling away
hey i have the same car mine has always done this since i have had it, im sure its a boost leak but every one tells me it isnt,
all i can say is if your car pulls well dont mess with it,
josh

could be a sticking wastegate?

Sticking wastegate whats the solution to the problem. Sorry dont know much about these.
the 110 tdi dont have wastgates, but a vnt to controll boost. this could be cloged, or not geting enooght vacume to work 100%.

lol proally gto frustrate with it and gave it to much beans
was just wondering what part failed. ie did the turbo blow
Sorry for the late reply im running 2 alternators 1 in standard position 2nd in place of the air con pump. The 2nd alt broke off brackets and hit the sump which caused an oil leak and drained all the oil which mashed the engine up. Must have hit a ramp or a ditch hard for it to break off, but am back up and running again so no worries. The positive side to this was thr new engine i bought had a brand new clutch and flywheel with it and my clutch and flywheel were on the way out so its not too bad.
glad to hear you got it fixed :)
has this replacment engine got a differant turbo ? or did you put your old one on it
Same turbo was used mate.
LOL quality
I want one of those stickers. Where can you get them from?
Ebay.. there are loads and loads of variants! Just search for turbo sticker!
I have noticed on my 1.8t when giving it the full beans in 3rd it whistles, I thought it was the wind from having the window open. I have only noticed it since having it remapped with a pipercross airfilter and DV007P.
If its normal I dont need to worry about it.
This ones good aswell
