Help! Turbo whirring noise?
Hey guys, yesterday my turbo started sounding funny. It's SUPER loud, like 100x louder than it was before.
Before it would make the normal "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" sound while spooling. Now it's "whirrrrrr-rrrrr-rrrrrr-rrrrr-rrrrrrrr"
No oil leak, no coolant leak, manifold doesn't look cracked, downpipe isn't cracked. Anyone know what could be causing this? I hope my turbo isn't going out

It seems like it's getting oil, nothing was changed, there are no oil leaks, and the line is connected nice and tight. I've been reading around on zilvia, and people keep saying that it could be a leak in the dp, manifold, or bov. No body is saying anything about a bad turbo, so that brings my hopes up a little bit. I'm going to say now that it is the manifold, just because it's a cheap used Megan manifold, but I'm going to keep checking. I'll take a video of it for you and hopefully you can hear it.

I put in a turbo in my RSX that I had and it blew the seals in the turbo. It boosted the same, but I had alot of smoke at idle. It was not a BB turbo, so I bought a rebuild kit to replace it myself, but it still smoked after I was done. I than sent it in to GReddy and they rebuilt it. Took like two weeks from start to finish and costed me $250!
