Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone could point in the right direction...

Mods:
Full exhaust system, manifold/elbow/downpipe/decat/catback

Basically as im coming onto boost you can hear what i can only describe as a dentists drill? As i get into 3rd, 4th and 5th it either stops or engine noise takes over.

Ive noticed that the boost is down probably 0.1/0.2 bar, This has only started happening since i changed the turbo to mani gasket, has something come undone already?

I thought it may of been a leak in the pipework somewhere ive gone over this and tightened it all, i do also have a new FMIC to fit at some point but havent yet, ive been told they can crack? But the sound is definately more prominant from around manifold turbo area?

Any help is appreciated thanks!

Sounds like a boost leak, check all your boost hoses. Do a smoke down test if you cant find it

Was gonna say gasket but you've done it so probably a boost leak

If gaskets etc are ok pull the downpipe and look for cracks around the wastegate penny, it's more common than you'd think
