LOUD WHISTLE/FLUTE SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
It will continue to get worse through out the entire rpm range. Did you pull the; intake? turbocharger intake and check the impeller shaft end play?

Keep an eye on the boost gauge. When it fails you’ll know it. More than likely it’s the bearing and seal going. Don’t try to run it either. It will blow oil into the FMIC and smoke badly. If the impeller comes apart, you’ll ingest those fragments into the engine.👍🇺🇸

On the screen in front of me, you have a mode to see your oil temperature and your torque, and finally, your turbo boost. Now, my turbo boost display is not running smoothly anymore; it's stuttering rather than showing me the boost in a smooth manner.

Do you happen to know what might be causing this?

Check the map sensor that comes after turbo. If the flute sound comes as mentioned from a worn impeller/turbine or better worn shaft, the turbine contacts the turbine housing. Check the turbo, in the past we had a blocked turbine with broken shaft on a highway during a high-speed blast. Boost totally gone, some black smoke thrown, and many luck that there weren't gone any turbine parts through the valves.

the flute was the intercooler tube....

I'm having the same problem with the same sound but when boost is nearly at full bust. I've noticed that the hose clamps on the intercooler inlet pipe have been tampered with at some point and seem to be very tight. Could this be the cause? Should I install new clamps?
