Lude Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 is it defo coming from there?? you bolted it back on correctly? did you take anything off the throttle body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_dan Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yea defiantly from there gave it a wack while it was whistling and it changed pitch for a second, think I've probably ballsed it up so will take it off weekend and make sure all is tight.

Supra_dan Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yea it was the body, seems as I didn't tighten the nut off on the underneath enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 it is worth maybe taking the car to a garage and getting them to do a smoke test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 ive just done a boost leak test on my car, as i have a leak somewhere. and i too have had the manifold & throttle body of. did the test today, put soapy water on the engine, put air in the engine and bubbles came from the throttle body too! glad i found it. i didnt have my sockets with me today, aparently the gaskets are re-usable? can anyone confirm if the gaskets are always good to re-use? and is just a case i havent tightened enough? or do you usually need to use new gaskets?
