so i believe i have the dreaded turbo death whine......but, here is the catch.....when i start my car up and boost, there is no whine, but after it warms up, it starts to whine under boost....so what gives? is it just the begginning of death whine, or not death whine at all? thanks guys, toogoode

Are you sure you aren't hearing a boost leak? The turbo mounting hardware often works its way loose. Check your exh manifold studs. Don't overtighten those, but make sure they're tight to spec. If that's negative, have you checked for shaft play? Are there any signs of the blades hitting the housing? Is the turbo stock of modded? If you determine the turbo is damaged or worn, check Turbos Direct. 8392 W. Camino De Oro, Peoria, AZ 85383. Talk to Scott Rakestraw. (602) 989.0611

Any shaft play? In and out? Side to side? Smoke after a nice pull?


Its hard to determine your problem over the internet by you describing the sound ;)
