K14 noise - Mal - 15-05-2013
Does anyone have any ideas why my K14's wastegate is making this noise?
Develops 13psi boost. It'll be replaced in a few weeks anyway, it'd be nice to know why it's making such a racket though!

Sounds fine to me.

Im not hearing any bad noises either. Could get a video underload if you wanted more advice, revving doesnt really strain anything.

It's not as loud in this video as above but you can still hear it when I'm accelerating hard
Compared to
Only when accelerating hard. It will cruise happily at motorway speeds but as soon as I floor it, the noise appears. It's a faint shrieking noise, turbo spools perfect
Also, yes my pump is dodgy....

Sounds fine and looks like its spooling no problem.
Whats the problem? You just think it sounds "odd"?

Well if that's the general consensus.... I guess I must be getting concerned over nothing! Phew
The noise appeared one afternoon and was very audible, like in the first vid. Since then it's a little quieter but I can still hear it. My old car had a GT15 and there were no odd noises from it....

Try a big blower with welded wastegate and de filter. Sounds like a jet..

In the process of, just need to make up an elbow and onto the engine it goes.... I did say I was replacing it in a few weeks anyway
