Turbo Chirp???

Hi all, I have a quick ? about truck at wot, when EGT's and boost start to peak im getting something that sounds like a couple of chirps. I think its turbo related and figured one of the gurus have something on it. Thanks Dave

That is common with a stock turbo and a chip. It's a condition called compressor surge. You either change the wheel and move the surge point that is hard to reach on stock injectors, or you change the compressor housing for about 6 times the price and mechanically eliminate it.

Thumbs up

Thanks Kris, I'm assuming you're talking about the WW! I read somewhere that it wasn't what its cracked up to be, what is your take on it. I am going to do a search on it and see what I come up with. Dave

The WW is an inexpensive fix for the surge. A lot of the guys here run them.

Alot of guys use it, because at this point in the mod scheme, the money saved on that opposed to a $405 housing can be spent on much better things for the truck.
