Hi, i just install my new ct26 60-1 an i got a turbo Whine!!! Is that suppose to be normal? I cant remember if i could hear it when i first install my 57trim from drifmotion 2 years ago.
It start to whine at -5 vacuum and it got worse with more pressure. (i did not boost since i was too afraid)

Please tell me its normal and i did not get a defective turbo. I cant figure what could have been wrong with the install.

I'd like to know if someone else on the board experience the same problem and what i should check first. It doesn't look like an exaust leak since every bolt was really tight!

I had to use a bit of silicone on the copper washer to get it to stick while i put the banjo bolt that connect to the block. I dont know if silicone could have block the hole in the bolt.... Thats the only thing coming to my mind...

Every turbo I ever put on never whinned - a rebuit c-26 included. You sure it's not the pwr steering pump whinning with your engine RPM speed ? Inspect the fluid level etc.
