i have a s14 sr20det and it's making a weird noise and i'm 80% sure it's coming from the turbo. it chatters under light boost like 2-5psi at lower speeds.it's not in the rods or valves i've checked. it boosts up fine drives fine no extra lag. and under harder driving (full throttle @ 13psi) the noise pretty much goes away. it's my new toy so i've been beating on it but i don't think i was doing any serious damage. i usually let it cool down for a few minutes after hard driving. so what do you think. btw it's my first turbo car so i really don't know.
