[scobs]

Just bought the car and have noticed on initial reving of engine there is a kind of squeel noise from turbo it goes away when i remove actuator pipe no smoke or free play on turbo and actuator moves free and easy drives bang on.

Does it sound like a police siren?

Is it modified (tuned)?

Welcome

These turbo's make little bit of that noise anyway, unless you notice drop in power & very loud whistle then wouldnt worry to much, mine does it & my mates a tuner & he said they do a little anyway especially when tuned aswell.
