If turbo's blown....

[YMJ]

hey,
if the turbo's are blown, can you still hold boost? my turbo's are making a whinning sound! (yes, almost a dentist drill thing) not verry loud! and when i gasss it more.. no sound..

im gonna go right now and drive it a bit, to see whats wrong.. can someone give me the symptoms of a blown k03


thanks

Yess but not for long.

This dentist sound is the resutl of too much shat play.

Prepare your car to undergo surgery soon.

There is no timeframe to tell you how long they will last, some hold a few months, some a few days...

BUT ANYTHING else will end up costing me like 6g's at least!

underhigh boost its whinning.. (dentist drill)... boosts up.. holds 15-16 for a bit, then drops a little..

i think the turbo laddy has arrived :S

[GURUMAN]

They can whistle like that for a while tho.

i hope so.. cause i need to compe up with some money!!! to fix it!!

[AMC]

yea mine have been whistling for like 2k+ miles so far and still hold boost, im just waiting for them to go fully, i have the k04's just waiting on a few stuff

drive ur car without going into boost should last a weee bit longer GL

[YMJ]

yea mine have been whistling for like 2k miles so far and still hold boostim just waitgin for them to go fully, i have the k04's just waiting on a few stuff drive ur car without goin into boost should last a weee bit longer

so how do i know if they are FULLY blown? 0 boost? limp> car wont move?

[GURUMAN]

normally shaft breaks than oil from the turbo goes directly in the exhaust, coolant as well.

You wont be able to drive it...

[YMJ]

this reallly sucks!! worst time ever too! i wish it was beg of aprill.. then i could do somethin gabout it.. :S fuckk

[ThirdStrike]

you dont have to spend 6k. just get k04's and inlets. theres a plethora of info on how to do stage 3 -
even tho daft had issues with apr's software its possible to at least get your car running without having to dump too much into a full stage 3 setup

really? hmm yeh i'll probably end up doing that.. can i put bigger turbos? and do fueling later??

[YMJ]

rs6's stock fueling.. would i need a custom tune? thats my question really..

My S4 started whining at 69k miles in Oct last year. It has now 75k miles.
Drove the car in winter from Raleigh, NC to Boston and back in Christmas.
I drove it to Miami just this last weekend.

If you are worried about it then just take it easy and try not to get into boost so that you don't stress the turbos much. Should last you longer until you get the muula to swap them.

It could be tomorrow, or - like me - it could take FOREVER. Mine has been whining passenger side for a while, and I really want them to die. But my wife keeps saying "well, just wait for them to go and then we'll deal with it". Friggin' things can take a beating when they want to.

I suspect that's part of the karma of these cars - they KNOW what we want to do, and so they do the opposite for a while. Can't afford turbos? Pop. Ready to swap for K04's? Keeps on spoolin' up.

As ThirdStrike states, you don't have to spend 6 grand.

I'm just going to replace with K04's when they go, and not do full Stage 3. The problem is that there is SO much that it makes sense to do once the engine is out, I will likely end up spending another grand just replacing mounts and FPR and stuff.

Find someone to do it over a weekend. Yes, a shop would charge $6,500 for all the parts and labor. But you can get it done for half that if you are smart. Buy the parts from one of many dealers on here, and then find someone who wants to make $1,000 to do the labor. That is what I am working on right now.

lol this guy on AW said he got his done for 400 bucks..

im gonna look around for sure.. i just need to know how long it would take an experience shop to do this job!

10 hours? 20 hours? 30 hours? 5 hours?? i mean if its a simple bolt on, how hard can it be?

[ThirdStrike]

ROFL.
not too terribly hard

the amount of hours depends on the mechanic. someone thats done a 2.7 pull before can do it faster than someone that hasnt.(most of teh time)
it took me probably 20 hours but i replaced my clutch while i had it out +4 hours for that job

[Vuel Egham]

On average I'd say 25 hours for someone who is familiar with the process. Find someone who wants to do it, and you'll save money.
