Are there any experienced S4ers in Boston willing to ride in my car to help diagnose an odd sound?

Default Are there any experienced S4ers in Boston willing to ride in my car to help diagnose an odd sound?

I mentioned a pretty terrible noise I'm getting at high RPMs a while back, and am now getting more curious as to what is is. It doesn't quite sound like what I thought it was originally (turbos), almost like air escaping somewhere odd. Anyway, another set of ears from someone knowledgeable would be useful...email me if you fit the bill and have some time.

Default

Have you checked for boost leaks? Visual inspection of TBB, soapy water, or pressure test might help

Default TBB is a nonissue (bipipe) and my boost logs (1-2-3 shift and 3rd gear pulls) show no problems.

However It sounds like it's coming from the driver's side intercooler area...but it's so hard to tell when listening over other engine noise and driving at the same time...

I would pressure test, but I have no access to any of the necessary tools...need to go back to my father's house and borrow the compressor...

Default maybe your intercooler hose is ready to pop off? its been known to happen, but maybe yours is

just loose or barely sealing.

Default Try asking the Boston Audi Group.

I think more of the guys hang around there.<ul><li><a href="http://www.bostonaudi.org">http://www.bostonaudi.org</a</li></ul>
