This car sucks. Out of nowhere I starting getting this fluttering/hissing sound while I drive, sounds like its coming from the front right, (where all the manifold stuff is). I can not hear at idle and only hear it when the car is moving under load. I popped the hood with the car runnin and could not hear/feel/see anything, I will have to check the dumptubes later, but honestly I don't want to, nor do I want to fix it, whatever the F---- it is..............


Venting over


I found one bolt in the engine bay, one is wedges between the blanket and the turbo, so basically Both Driver side Bolts on the turbo are loose

 

I feel you man. This is the exact same way i felt when I had my other turbo'd car. It'll run well, then a problem will come up. I'll fix it, run well again, and then another thing will come up. In the end, my motor blew, tried it once more, but never was able to get it running right or even motivated on doing it again.

So, I ended up gettin' my s2k.

 

Joey, you sound like me over the past two months... Scott knows this cause I did most of my venting to him. Now I get to spend thousands to fix things right.

 

Perhaps an exhaust manifold gasket , a turbo to manifold gasket or a wastegate leak or dare i say a cracked manifold . I feel for you joey , ive been following youre build/problems for a while now . Dont give up just yet though !!

 

If the manifold was red before, then maybe it heated enough and cracked?

Just a hypothesis.

 

If its just an exhaustgasket, then its a very minor problem.

 

If you quit bitching about your car so much she'll stop ****** with you with all these issues.

Car's have feelings and don't like be told that they suck. lol

 

keep with it joeyk

 

joey i think you just needed to start your daily thread in the FI forum

 

I by no means have a car anywhere near as badass as yours but I do know about building/modding but when modding a vehicle as extensive as you have shit happens. This is exactly why you see people say im gunna go buy a vette, reliable and fast. In my eyes your turbo S is way more awesome then a vette or car like it. Dont give up on her, you know you have to pay to play. In the 4 months I have had nothing but problems with my S most recently being a theft that has left me w/o her for 2 weeks now. So guess I just wanted to say hang in there cause shit happens to all of us!
