Turbo stall , as in chatter or flutter sound? People with drilled air boxs tend to get this noise.

i quite like a bit of noise from a car but with diesels its a bit harder to achieve that. i still receive odd looks while driving. here one taken tonight while i was searching for a knocking noise which turned out one of the hangers have come away . click to play http://i303.photobucket.com/albums ...

Hi & welcome to ukp ;)
Dont forget to include pictures

Tracking an annoying noise is the worst! Going in the air tomorrow I will get to the bottom of it ; ) Also going to do the snub nose mount £7.50 from tps but they had none of the upgraded black ones but if the standard one lasts another 120k il be happy with that. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/29/ ...

heres how mine sounds with a home made straight through the noise you here is the turbo vanes opening & shutting , the boxes muffle out the excess noise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAFwO5XG2ec&list=UU3Rygi1Rx8ran9M1G_MgX0Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLNZfdLeWYU&index=1&list ...

i had similar issues a year or so back turned out it was the baffles in the middle box so i ended up putting a straight through pipe in place cheap & easy fix

I will get a better one in the morning

Id be lying if I said people wernt weren't doing it lol only advice I got years ago was it could cause unessacery stress to other components.
40mm would be a safer choice imo

Just curious how hot does it actual get & how quick ? You can check via the climatronic Press and hold " fan down, temperature down (blue button ) and ECON " together, Then press the temperature up (red button ) and scroll to channel 45....this will tell you what your engine coolant temperature is ...

Dont worry your self gizmo the tyres fine it just got wear on the inner edge due to a failed wish bone at one point witch was fixed. The two rears were once on the front but still have 4mm at the moment. Ive just prepaired my self for it to be a fail.
