Bit Of Help Needed
 
OK so I did search around a bit but really didn't get any answers to what it is ?

Well on cold start up for about 10 Min's or so I Hear a tapping noise when on boost , it does sound like its coming from the turbo but as I'm a complete noob i really have no idea
After 10 Min's it goes away and I no longer hear it ?

Maybe the turbo on the way out ?

Any help would be cool
Thx

Sounds like turbo gasket to me

Wheuon you start it from Cold and b4 it get Hot (BE CAREFUL!) put you fingers around the the turbo and manifold and feel for the gaskets blowing. I tend to agree with 30psi!

Well I took a look at what you said but didn't seem to be leaking at all , but i noticed that the first bolt on the manifold was loose ?
anyways I tried to tighten it but it wouldn't so I took the whole stud out and and put it back in the other way around , this seemed to have fixed it as now its on tight and no more silly tapping noises on boost when cold !

See even noobies like me get lucky sometimes woohoo !
