    A4 Turbo making a whining noise.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    For about 2 weeks I have been hearing a whining sound coming from my engine. Took it to Muller & Muller this morning and have just been told that the berings from the turbo are gone and that's what's causing the noise. Had a feeling that's what it was but the car was making boost and holding like normal.

    Ohhh well.

    One other question. is it possible to run a KO4 with KO3 software?

    Sure its possible.

    If you dont have the proper software, you wont fully utilize the full potential of the Ko4...

    You guys have all the good stuff!

    In Australia there are a handfull of people running bigger turbos in their Audis.
    I know of an A4 with the Works! 2L GT turbo runs 12s
    and A3, A4 and a VW Passat with KO4.

    Ko4 with Ko3 software is fine, but you will only hold your peak boost a bit longer I believe.
    i like my black girls clean and my white girls dirty.
    doesn't matter either way they're all out to hurt me.
