95 GT Legacy Turbo Whine

[sideburns66]

Hey guys.. obviously I'm new here and obviously there's been a thousand threads about whiney turbos but I wanted to ask if there was anyone in Christchurch who may be willing to have a look at mine, I don't really know enough about the car to be able to explain certain things, although ask me because I'm not a total idiot haha..

Basically the car starts whining at revs, but only when I'm accellerating with a slight amount of force - it doesn't whine if I really nana it.

I've been told that it could be that I'm running too much boost - it's got a chipped computer and running about 11psi, or could be something to do with excess air flow from the front mount? Obviously what I'm worried about is that if the turbos are dead..

ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

i would say its a leak mayb on your intake side.have you check there no leaking pipe that are attached to the turbo areas.

11psi is nothing man,not really even fazing the motor,could etha be the bearings inside the turbo are giving up or you have a leak some were.

do you know what turbo/turbos you have?

vf seris ballbearing turbos have a wine to them.mines been doing it for ages but its mint.

I'll try have a look, but I really don't know enough to be able to check that kind of stuff, which is why I was wondering if anyone is able to have a look at it for me. As far as I'm aware the turbos are just factory. It doesn't sound like a good whine though, it's almost a screeching noise, which has got me worried.
