05WRX Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 On my way home today decided to give it a bit of welly as i came off a roundabout. Heard a whining noise coming from the turbo and i did not get as much power (boost) as i normally get. I'm guessing a hose may be loose going to turbo?? Car is getting serviced this week but is there anything i can look for at the moment to sort the problem. Cheers.
rig-pig Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 could be a split or loose hose m8 when is it going in ???

scooby doom Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Problem solved. Loose intercooler pipe. Cheers Craig. Always good when it's an easy fix I had a similar problem a few months back and couldn't find the problem until I took the intercooler off and found the following damaged and leaking pipe hidden at the bottom of the turbo.

My turbo hose looks the same as your in the middle, is it supposed to look like it has been patched? ie. like a puncture repair? cheers
WUZ Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 That patch in the middle of your hose is where a stainless steel metal retaining "t-piece" is placed. It keeps the Jubilee clips in a certain rotation so you can reach it with the screwdriver to fasten/loosen it. It is meant to be there and be like that.
Scottynic Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 thanks for that, not very pretty tho but I guess if it works that's what matters.
