turbo bark?
Why does my turbo bark or shutter? What will cause it? It does it on the shifts and when i let off the throttle when I'm on it.

It is from all the boost that suddenly has no place to go when you let off the throttle. It's normal and nothing to worry about.

Its called turbo stall. It happens when the pressures on either side of the turbo suddenly change when boost demand drops such as a shift or letting off the throttle.

Mine does it with 38r and the larger 1.15 A/R exhaust housing also. It is less pronounced during normal driving and hardly noticable. Or, I've just become accustomed to it.

Saying its nothing to worry about is a bit of a stretch.

It can snap the shaft, but its very rare.

There is not much you can do about it however.

Yep it doesent sound good at all,it's like the boost is spinning the blades backwards. Is it hard on the blades and could it bend it or how about the bearings?
