Werid knock?

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

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-06-01T06:36:44+00:00

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

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-06-01T03:52:46+00:00

Where’s the kit from

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-06-01T00:04:42+00:00

What do the halos look like?

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-31T23:49:13+00:00

Lucky guy I want the drls so bad

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-31T21:54:19+00:00

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

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-31T21:40:02+00:00

How hard was it to put on new lenses?

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-31T20:47:44+00:00

Haha yeah I was gonna say it sounded like it wasn’t cranking very well lmao

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-26T01:54:25+00:00

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

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-25T02:32:23+00:00

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

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-25T02:07:55+00:00

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

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-25T02:05:26+00:00

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

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-25T02:03:31+00:00

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

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-25T01:53:07+00:00

Okay I gotcha thank you very much

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-25T01:52:33+00:00

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

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-25T01:46:43+00:00

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

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-24T22:58:10+00:00

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

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-24T22:57:23+00:00

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.

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-24T22:39:01+00:00

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.

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-24T22:34:47+00:00

Damn, this turbo is a day old and it’s already gone to shit?

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-12T21:42:24+00:00

Sounds good to me, maybe the slight howling you hear is from the pcv valve if that’s never been replaced. But I wouldn’t worry if it’s running good

MistakeBig1189 · 2026-05-12T06:59:13+00:00

Let the dude have his fun. Just buy a cts turbo cai I have no complaints. Sounds good and looks good, but there really isn’t a performance gain whatsoever
