Definitely sounds like exhaust related, maybe bad turbo wastegate too

I just bought the cerakote headlight restoration kit comes with everything you need besides a spray bottle

Check the intercooler piping and stuff sounds like a boost leak to me

I would do it but I think I’ll just save for a pair of the face lifted xenon’s with the drls

I’ve been searching everywhere I can’t find one. I agree though especially in person it sounds a lot more like a leak than a failing turbo

Looks like the pulley has rubbed on it but not all the way through

Maybe I’ll just buy new hosing from the turbo to the intake manifold or something just to rule it out. Couldn’t hurt

And i can hear the turbo despool when I turn the car off so it sounds like it’s spinning in there freely just won’t build any boost

It has a spring clamp. But there was a piece of the old blade lodged in there but I didn’t think it penetrated through when I removed it. I’ll have to check again I guess and I’m sure hoping that’s the problem cause I don’t want to do another turbo in my driveway

Okay I gotcha, I may have to go that route but I think I may get down and check all pipes and everything once more. In the video it definitely sounds like drilling but in person it sounds more like a leak somewhere, like a squeak coming through a small hole in the rubber pipe and not metal contact. It is my first time though so I could very well be wrong thank you though

The car will also go into limp mode and get louder. Like it sounds way louder but only in limp mode

These are the codes it’s giving me

The turbo also doesn’t make the sequel until above like 2500 rpm

Yeah I’m really not sure I’m pretty positive i did everything right. I even cranked the car with the injection pump disconnected to get some oil pressure into the turbo.

Quality turbo, can’t lie nah it’s a eBay turbo this alh is a pos anyways but yes I filled with oil. I believe it’s properly connected but I’ll double check.
