I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST 98 ECLIPSE GS-T SPYDER IT IS MAKING A SWISH LIKE NOISE WHEN THE TURBO KICKS IN ,THE BOOST GUAGE GOES ALL THE WAY UP PLEASE HELP

IN PERSON DO YOU TALK AS YOU ARE YELLING ????? <~~~~ So don't do it any more. for the sound that it makes is pretty normal. unless something has done to the engine.

i thought it was good when my turbo spools and i get full boost. stock i was lucky to get that stock gauge to go all way up lol

id say its fine unless u have a massive amount of smoke commin out the exaust

thanks for ur reply .it is too noisy to be normal turbo noise and beside that it feels like it is stalling the motor ..what if the waste gate modulator is bad can it do such a thing .it sounds like lots of air is being dumped ,leaked...help.i'm on the verge of reselling the car

check all vacuum lines

the problem you are describing is called BOOST. unfortunately, its a very costly addiction and very expensive when you want to get more of it. If you arent careful, boost will destroy your engine or send your car spinning into a tree; and youll be hard pressed to get more than 20 mpg when your in it.

on the plus side, it is more fun than sex.

EDIT: ****, i missed the part where he described it in a manner that DIDNT make it sound like normal boosting.

it sounds to me like you have a simple boost leak. if you feel the boost kicking in, then all of a sudden your car lurches and you lose all power, thats a boost leak. if it bogs down in boost, and not when driving normally, thats more than likely a boost leak, but could also be a dying turbo or fuel related problems. Do you notice any smoke or anything like that when/after hard acceleration. if not, im saying its a boost leak. check all your intercooler piping for loose connections, cracks, or holes. the stock blow off valve is a common leak point, so checking that might be a good start. seriously, there are a LOT of places boost can leak from :/

You hear a swish and then the boost gauge pegs at the top. That is normal.

If it jerks violently then you have a boost leak

If it stutters you have to replace the wires.

If you don't believe me I'll give you 1000 for your car.
