No boost - just a woo...woo..noise!!
Took my car out first time this year and after a gentle warm up hit the boost -
but no boost only this woo...wooo......... noise like a fire engine.
Is this a turbo gone bad or could it be a hose come loose?
Car is box standard 220bhp 951.
Thanks
Steve

woo woo? Is it a wooo wooo like a fire engine wooo wooo or is it a wooosh wooosh like a fire extinguisher wooosh wooosh? If it is a wooosh wooosh like a fire extinguisher wooosh wooosh instead of a wooo wooo like a fire engine wooo wooo then its reallly probably like a shhhhh shhhhh wich could simply mean a leaking boost line - (check lines under the hood and line going to wastegate) also make certain wastegate is tight.

Mine made the exact same noise when the turbo had something go through it and trash the compressor side blades.
Pull the J-boot and look. Hope you have a strong stomach, 'cause I have a feeling you're not going to like what you find.

Hi Guys,
The noise only is apparent when boost is expected - other than that engine sounds ok.
Oh by the way I ain't in Alaska - SteveUK (work it out!!)

"what they doin sleepin at 5am? Dey should be making eggs and bacon..." -Bubb Rubb

...I'm guessing a serious boost leak, but do you have a digital cam that could get the noise in a video?

Check the intercooler hose clamps.
If they are loose or off the hose puffing up and letting the air out could vibrate in such a fashion that it would make that noise.
