T3/T4 Turbo, 40Bob Header and TiAL 38mm WG Installed October 15, 2007, 03:28:18 PM I spent Saturday installing the new header, turbo, oil lines and wastegate. Although I have a mysterious boost leak (I think its between the wastegate and header), everything is working GREAT. We took the car out for a spin, and the turbo is RIDICULOUSLY loud, even on the freeway people in other cars look to see what the noise is. As in, as loud as a semi truck. Just easing into the throttle, the turbo winds up so loud, sounds like a jet taking off. With the boost leak I can't get above 10 PSI, but up to 10 it pulls hard. I'll post some pics when I get a chance. My exhaust consists of a 3" diameter elbow off the turbine housing, dropping down about 6", THAT'S IT. It sounds like a John Deer at idle, sounds like a jet or semi when I get into the boost. Heading over to my bro's tonight to pull the header and tighten down the wastegate. Quote Selected

Still havfen't fixed it 100% but I did get 1 good hard pull out of the car and it was scary. Quote Selected

I fixed it temporarily last night and did a pull, hit 16 PSI and backed out of it, scared the shiznit outta me, the car has never pulled nearly that hard! I think I am going to replace all my plug wires to see if that fixes it. Quote Selected
