David P Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Sounds like something catching on the compressor turbo blades? Maybe good idea to check for the source of the noise without the induction pipe. The turbo boys will know better, but maybe the bearing is shot.

Lee P Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Cant hear it as I am at work with no sound but if its a rattling sound it may be one of the valves on the sequential system as your running in TTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 It's the exhaust gas control valve linkage rattling itself to death `cos you have mucked about with Toyota's multi million pound set up to take it back to the dark ages. Hold the arm on the valve steady with a long screwdriver and the rattling will stop. It's low down at the front, sort of under the middle of the turbos. Put it back as Mr T intended before the arm snaps off the control valve. (Actually, no, leave it, I have one to sell..... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I would say ita the read valve in the outlet pipe from the second turbo, they are prone to doing that in TTC mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hold the linkage outlined in green with a stick or long screwdriver, the noise will stop. The arms come off the spindles, or the ceramic valves break if left rattling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I would of never guessed that to be honest, how the hell do you do that realy! Diagnose from a phone video so easy, takes me about 10-15 in person to find the problem on most cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, in all honesty, get rid of the TTC conversion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
