LACK OF BOOST AND HISSING SOUND

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I just got my G60 back from the dealer yesterday after they refitted the R1-supercharger and Rallye outlet. However, I cannot take the car over 3000 rpm for 500 limes to really test it. It would seem at the moment that there is a distinct lack of boost even at low revs. The outlet rubber hose will not reinflate itself when the engine starts. Also there is a whooshing / hissing noise present which which louder and louder on acceleration and is really annoying me! If anyone has any ideas they would be more than welcome..,

 

Cheers

HMMMM id check the 5 mm allen keys on the boost return and airfilter pipe on the charger and jubilee clips on the rubber pipe which clamps on the the rallye outlet and plastci pipe to the intercooler.

You Scotts do have some strange measurements, how many Limes do you get to a gallon over there?

 

Yes it does sound like you are loosing boost, but I would take it back asap if it was done at a dealer!

Hi all

 

Problem located with the intercooler, or rather lack of it as the connecting pipe has fractured off at the junction where it meets the core. Darren where are you...,? So no running it around just now I guess till its replaced completely,

 

Cheers all for help ,
