HI GUYS HAD MY 130 GT TDI A FEW MONTHS NOW AND LIKE IT ALOT BUT WHEN I FIRST GOT IT , IT WAS MAKING A LOUD WHOOSHING NOISE EVERY TIME I ACCELERATED HARD. iT SOUNDED LIKE THE AIR CON FANS WERE BLOWING OUT AIR OR LIKE THERE WAS AN AIR LEAK IN A PIPE OR SOMETHING.. i THOUGHT IT SOUNDE ABNORMAL SO ASKED THE DEALER WHAT THE NOISE WAS AND HE SAID ITS JUST THE TURBO SPOOLING UP AND IT SOUNDS LOUDER BECAUSE MY CAR WAS REMAPPED. PERFORMANCE WAS GREAT BUT THERE WAS VISIBLE CLOUDS OF SMOKE IN THE LIGHTS OF FOLLOWING CARS AND MPG WAS WELL BELOW QUOTED FIGURE. THEN ONE DAY WHEN IWAS ACCELERATING HARD I LOST ALL POWER AND MY CRAWLED HOME AT 40MPH FOLLOWED BY PLUMES OF BLACK SMOKE:zx11:. I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND TURNED OUT THE TURBO PIPE HAD BURST OR COME APART. GOT THE PIPE REPLACED AND GOT CAR BACK. PERFORMANCE STILL VERY GOOD AND THE HISSING NOISE WAS GONE. MPG INCREASED AND THE BLACK SMOKE NO LONGER CAME OUT BACK SO I PERSUMED HISSING WHOOSHING NOISE WAS A AIR LEAK. NOW THREE MONTHS LATER THE HISSING NOISE IS STARTING AGAIN BUT NOT AS LOUD.

SORRY ABOUT LONG POST BUT IS THE PIPE GONNA BURST AGAIN AND WHAT IS THAT NOISE:confused:. HELP PLEASE!!!!!:1zhelp:

See replies on my thread 'Woosh Woosh' seems we both have the same problem although mine hasn't been remapped.

Sounds like your pipe has come off again. They are designed to "blow off" to protect the turbo and inlet.

boost pipe are prone for spliting and poping off from the clips have a look round the engine bay and round the intercooler see if one has poped off. with cars that have been remaped they run more boost so more pressure for the clip's to hold so there more likely to come off.

thanks guys. it came off at the clip last time. is there anything to do to stop this happening like a stronger clip
