    light squeal? vacuum leak?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    in part throttle holding anywhere between 5-10 psi i hear like a light squealing sound..sounds like it's coming from the the rear of the enging.. could it be a vacuum leak? or the hoses associated with the n75 and MBC..

    there's no noise at full boost, and no loss of power either.

    your turboz are blown

    could be vacuum leak, what vacuum is the car sitting at at idle/peak boost? pressure test yet?

    another thing it could be is the tranny, sometimes they have a dull whine when they are crapping the bed.

    i just put in a mbc and took out my n75 yesterday and im getting the same noise. its like a hum or a squeal can really describe it and it only happens at 5-10psi and i think its right when i left off the throttle

    it's def. the sound of air like escaping from a tiny hole.. idle is 21 in hg and boost holds at 22 just fine.. but at part throttle it's like a tiny squeak

    could be the sound of air passing over the holes if you have drilled numerous holes for the darintake mod.

    Could be air being bled from the mbc.
