GT28RS Isn't sounding healthy, thoughts? - 14/10/2016 18:36
So 18 months ago i bought a GT28RS from a guy on the Coupe parts for sale page on FB, it was said to have done 8,000 miles.
Fast forward 18 months and i've just got round to fitting it as the standard turbo seals have gone.
Along with the turbo i also fitted a SIP, FMIC, 3' downpipe and changed a cracked manifold with a remap to come.
This afternoon the car woke up after 4 months of sleeping and sounded awesome, turned the engine off and heard this very loud metal on metal sound for around 10 seconds. It can only be the turbo as it's loudest by the air filter.
After a bit of research i see some people on pistonheads saying BB turbos often make this winding down sound and it's nothing to worry about.
I'm very paranoid as it's so loud but can i have some opinions?
Thanks
