So I was moving my throttle cable around the other day so the hood wouldnt come down on it (I hae a 3sgte) and afterwords I took the car for a little spin and the turbo started making a squeeling/squeking (i cant spell) noise. My first guess is the turbo is leaking cause it seems to be losing boost, but i just got the car recently and am new to working on engines so any help on how to fix the issue would be a HUGE help. Thanks

QUOTE My first guess is the turbo is leaking cause it seems to be losing boost, check for boost leaks in the intercooler piping. you probably took a clamp off and forgot to put it back on tight enough. you can just read your boost/vac on your greddy ebc. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
