Can anyone tell me if this is normal?
I recently Put my Jb+ up to 100% and LOVE it, unfortunately now my turbos are whining a bit louder at low rpms and i didnt hear that when i had it on 50%.
Can someone confirm that im screwed or not? my car has 22k miles and it was 50F outside thanks |

ETA: Some do whine, you may not have heard it before but with the increased boost it will make it more apparent if they are prone. There's a chance the turbos might go out, but then they may last out the whole time you own the car, seems to be a bit of pot luck.... FWIW Mine started whining after a while but nothing ever came of it. |

Does it whine with the JB+ taken out?

Your best bet for your peace of mind (cause it will drive you crazy) is take out your tune, get any codes cleared and take it to a dealer for them to test out. I'm sure it's fine, and not until you get to the siren-like wail should you be really worried. |
