Fyi AJ, i've got a similar whine on my car. Should be turbo spool etc guessing from your youtube clips as bushido said.

Though the whine on mine doesn't seem to be quite as loud but yours is probably a smaller/more responsive turbo hence the louder spool (larger turbo spooling later which by then gets covered by engine noise etc).

Cheers for the input. I'm getting used to it now. Doesn't seam to bother me if I drive it hard

Sorry to go off track but AJ, do you have any pictures with the bonnet down when you had the blue headlights? I ask because I'm looking for a silver FTO to have it silver with icy blue parts, like you did. I never thought of painting the headlights blue, though. I just need more photos to see if I like it or not as it's hard to tell with the bonnet up.

I tried not to take any like that cos IMO it looked rubbish.

Can I bring mine over for you to have a look at 1 day soon please?
For sure. Will probably have a mini DIY day soon. What do you need doing?

Just take a look and see what you think needs doing. I know that brakes and suspension need doing, just would like you to help me write a shopping list.

The 'turbo whistle' noise seems to be getting louder and more annoying and I think the turbo might be on it's way out so if you can have a look and listen to let me know what you think etc. Would a stock Mitsi turbo be a good replacement, like out of an Evo or something?

Vacuum gauge is a bit intermittent, and the oil temp gauge doesn't move at all.

Yeah it is probably the bearing rubbing mate.

Cheers Ben, I will keep an eye out.

Can anyone remember what the turbo is in that car? Be cheaper to get it serviced than replaced.
I can give you names & numbers of shops that will do it. It aint cheap thou..
(well its cheaper than buying a new one)

That doesn't tell me the model mate. There'll be numbers stamped all over the thing. I wouldn't know where to start.

Precision Turbochargers @ Wetherill Park are apparently the go - Speak to John on 9756 5757. He should be able to tell you where to look on it for the model number, then give you a quote.

Alternatively, GCG Turbos in Condell Park are also regarded as one of the best: http://www.gcg.com.au
My only complaint from them is that were super f**ken expensive. 2 differing quotes from 2 guys at the same shop to rebuild one of my tiny little VR4 journal bearing turbos, one for $650, the other for $850

Got mine from GCG.. My mechanic deals with them all the time. They even sponsored his drift S13... Got a mad price for the GT30..

I am betting that AJ's is a GT28 ..
