majortom4 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hi guys. Been a while since finishing my turbo project. For insurance reasons and rain I haven't rode it much. after cutting my silencer off I noticed a rattling sound on idle. Didn't notice with exhaust on as it was toned down. not sure if I'm being paranoid and it's completely normal, but if you could listen to the video and let me know if it sounds normal or not and any reasons what is making the noise if not normal then that would be much appretiated. cheers guys!!

majortom4 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sounds more obvious on this video Quote Link to comment
Duckndive Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Have you checked for play in the shaft ? Quote Link to comment
majortom4 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Yep, no play in shaft, getting oil, waste gate is tight and not flapping. its a weird one. As didn't make the noise with my previous manifold which was longer, now with the shorter one it sounds strange. Not sure if it's just an echo or something as it isn't very obvious when the 'exhaust' is off. Quote Link to comment
majortom4 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 And it doesn't get worse when reving or riding, can't hear it as soon as you start moving, not sure if it's because it's load..... Quote Link to comment
Fula28 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Myn was like that, I thought it was just due to short exhaust outlet , as when I had full exhaust it wasn't there at all? No pipe just chug chug . Quote Link to comment
majortom4 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 So it's nothing to worry about and I should just get on with it??? haha. going to re-direct that stubby outlet away from the ground as the echo is awefull when going slow speeds through town. Quote Link to comment
Fula28 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yes little slash cut pipe is good too, idles allways worse (noisey ) than on boost, Quote Link to comment
Sheep Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Just a thought is the turbo to manifold gasket intact still?..I had a gasket go once and it sounded like my valve clearances were wrong.The gas escaping from a small split made a noise you wouldn't associate with the turbo! 1 Quote Link to comment
