TURBO NOISE ON MY05WRX
Have said car above with ppp,anyone else experience a noise which i can hardlt describe as a sort or crackling / rampant tapping noise when the turbo spools up, it normally clears after 4000rpm or do you have a sweet turbo spool up noise
just curious as mine has seemed to lack power ever since i got it and comapred it to my previous MY95 WRX import!
cheers

not too loud but it sounds a bit embarrasing as you rive through a town centre with the nice burble and its ruined by the ticking noise, i have to have the windows down to hear it but am going to subaru on friday so they can hear it but i guess i'll probs be fobbed off!

I have the same noise on my 04sti when the turbo spools up between 2000-3000rpm.My previous sti did not do it.
Have taken it to the dealer but they say that they can not hear it.
Like you say you can hear it mostly around town.

Got a similar noise on my 06wrx between 2000-3000rpm. Had it in at a dealer on tuesday and they spoke to Subaru technical who said that it was ok. The dealer are getting another 06 WRX in to compare mine against as they agree it doesn't sound right. Hopefully they'll get it sorted in the next week or two

I just get lots of whistling on mine and I've gone thru' standard, PPP and Decat states of tune. A cracking noise on spooling up doesn't sound normal to me. If you'd said after turning off the car then fair enough. Could be heat shield either for the turbo or even the downpipe. If it is solenoid then it's not a normal noise and perhaps there is a batch of cars with this problem.

Mine used to sometimes make a noise on spool up - a kind of tinkling. Reminds me of the sound of "pinking" but I wouldnt have said it was loud enough to hear from outside.
Did it on optimax/tesco99/SUL but never noticed it in town - only foot down hard on open road.
Havent noticed it lately (or my ears have tuned it out)
(Std 05 WRX)

Try tightening up all the hoses from the airbox through to the intercooler. Had the same sort of noise and it seems to have done the trick. Some of the jubilee clips were a little loose.

I have been running tesco 99 fuel for the last year and it has made this noise all the time.
I`ve just run a tank full of shell v power in my car and the noise has gone.
