noisy turbo????

Post by Guest »

i have a 91 740 turbo wagon, a few months after i started driving it, i noticed it started sounding more and more like a muscle car. first i thought it was an exhaust leak, but one day i put it in park and reved the rpms up slow and steady. i noticed once the turbo needle goes back down and i hold hold the rpms it stops making noise. is it an exhaust leak or is it something to do with my turbo?? or both...?

"Muscle car" ... sounds like an exhaust leak .. possibly exhaust manifold gaskets.

common Turbo noise = loud whistling, whining, and grinding noise
