Are my turbos blown?

ontopofm · 01-23-2012, 07:35 PM

Im on my iphone right now so cant embed the video. The farting noise sounds like it is coming from the catless DPs to exhaust connection. I got Cobb stage 2 + fmic map installed last week but havent gone WOT yet. I have the codes that most other people got P2AAF, P2DED.I hope it is just a loose connection. What do you guys think?

Rotorocious · 01-23-2012, 07:37 PM

Sweet socks with sandals bro....

Sounds like a very strange wastegate rattle type noise but different

Syndicategt · 01-23-2012, 07:37 PM

Odd sound, are you getting smoke out of your exhaust pipes too?

ontopofm · 01-23-2012, 07:41 PM

No smoke. Sound like something loose and rattles

Beemw335 · 01-23-2012, 07:43 PM

Exhaust leak

jlcolon2001 · 01-23-2012, 07:47 PM

Exhaust leak + WG rattle

Sounds badass, you should leave it, and take it to meets.

Apogee · 01-23-2012, 07:53 PM

Best way to find out if your turbos are blown is to go out and go WOT if there is a significant lost in power than thats a clear indicator. doesn't sound good though...best of luck

cn555ic · 01-23-2012, 08:02 PM

What did you do prior to the noise happening? Just cruising and this noise happened? It does sound like an exhaust leak from the DP and exhaust connection..Possibly the gasket blown or burnt will cause this propeller noise

Beemw335 · 01-23-2012, 08:04 PM

Guys if his turbos were done we would hear loud whining and tons smoke coming out of the exhaust. Im sure the downpipe connection to the turbo or exhaust was loose and theres a leak.
When were downpipes installed?

rader1 · 01-23-2012, 08:11 PM

Exhaust leak

roberts5831 · 01-23-2012, 08:42 PM

deff exhaust bro. is there any significant lost in power?

boostaholic786 · 01-23-2012, 08:50 PM

I honestly think you have an exhaust leak of some sort or when they installed your downpipes they didnt put new gaskets and just used the old ones therefore not creating a proper seal. Some gaskets can be re-used some cant. I think you shuold take it back to where ever you got it installed and tell them there is a leak and to fix it. Your turbo's are not blown though bro so no worries. Its something that can be taken care of without any issues.

Bakeme521 · 01-23-2012, 09:40 PM

sounds like the mother of all exhaust leaks

themyst · 01-23-2012, 09:41 PM

your wastegates are rattling. And +1 on the exhaust leak.

ontopofm · 01-23-2012, 10:55 PM

All the nuts at the DPs to exhaust come came loose and lost. I replaced them with the oem nuts from oem DPs. As for the wastegates rattle, they were replaced by the dealer a while back but the car is out of warranty now. Has anyone tried Mr. 5 method? Thanks guys.

enrita · 01-24-2012, 04:55 AM

exhaust leak, did you replace the gasket?

Alex@Helix · 01-24-2012, 09:25 AM

sounds like a dirt bike

JamesM3M5 · 01-24-2012, 09:40 AM

Gasket could be blown out from losing the exhaust nuts. Definitely sounds like a big exhaust leak, not a turbo problem.

I installed the VRSF DPs a few days before I got the Cobb. Those nuts came with the DPs are not sefl-locked type and all came loose. I lost 3 of the 4 nuts. I used the OEM nuts from the OEM DPs and tightened them back last night. It's all good now.
I was driving around town yesterday and suddenly getting this sound when i pulled into the parking lot.
