russj249 2 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Only since i've put short runner and got turbo running, i have an ear piercing noise coming from the throttle body area.i've taken it off and sealed the gasket and no luck. i can't work out where it's coming from and it does it also with boost pipes disconnected from throttle body.inlet manifold was made by a chap on here, and i can't see or feel any cracks. ran finger all round seals with no variation in noise.sounds like a whistle kettle but miles louder. anyone else ever had this?

russj249 2 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Sorry Craig, the kettle is now off the boil!! After 2 hours just today and numerous times since Sunday, I finally found it. Everyone who's seen it and heard it was totally convinced it was throttle body related, thinking is could be the valve inside or a pin hole leak somewhere.Turns out it was the inlet manifold to heat gasket! The far right of the gasket was leaking but such a terrible noise I couldn't pinpoint it. I found out eventually that it was there by chucking a piece of rag on top of the injectors, and the squeal got quieter. Rag over throttle body and no difference at all.So after a lot of listing through pipes it's all sorted, for the moment anyway!And the turbo is a Garrett gt3582r by the way.

legvw 0 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 I sealed mine with sealant just to be sure, glad you found it anyway! Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Wish I'd have done it now though, thought the standard gasket would be fine! Now got to take it all apart again, never mind though ay, we would do these silly things to cars!! Link to post Share on other sites
