So I just got a new intercooler, the last one had a hole in it for... who knows how long.. This was my first turbo and Manuel speed vehicle and .. don't shun me but I didn't know/don't recall ever hearing the turbo engage cause when I got it back from the shop and heard the hiss and saw the psi gauge actually go above 5+ I was like "oh that's what that's how that's supposed to work?" . something tells me it used to work appropriately because I have old friends from when I first got this car who drove it and never said anything.. I just didn't notice when it stopped I guess..

Anyway, cool intercooler, got a lot of power in acceleration now, sick, today on my way home from work I heard some noise that I wasn't sure was okay.. rattling? sputtering? I'm not sure the video does the audio that much justice but a friend of mine said it didn't sound like it probably should and I'm new to actually hearing my turbo working so I wasn't even sure if it was just a normal sound... So What do yall think? The sound is definitely coming from behind the engine from what I can tell.. Tests I can do to isolate or give me confidence in this not being another expensive repair?

 

Problem solved, thankful it wasn't a serious issue, seems just had some rusted bolts on the exhaust come loose. Normal noises again
