Thread: whistling under load...

  1. 08-12-2010 02:23 AM #1
    hey guys...Noobie here.

    Need your assistance in identifying where this is coming from.

    When in idel car is fine....once it starts boosting around 2000rpm the car makes a whining noise...as you get higher in the rpm teh car starts whistling. this happens in all gears.

    I have checked teh flg:
    Block off on turbo
    dv + DV RELOATE
    boost pipes
    pcv.
    comprssor turbine - with car still on . fins on the turbo also feel fine - no shaft play either.
    exhaust - front to back
    induction

    I suspect a blown turbo BUT the car is reaching peak boost and holding it as well. No smoke of any kind and power is still there....so i dotn think its turbo.

    What else can i check?

    im suspecting accessory belt tensioner....anyone know the symptons of this? I know when i start the car i hear the birds sound...?

    Please help
