WR1 Owners Club

Hi guys and girls? Had the WR1 for almost 2 weeks now. Enjoying every second i get to drive it. Ive not had a turbo or a 4wd car before, any essential tips? The last car i had was a 231 rx-8 so this is abit different. Quick question, when accelerating hard from like 2.5k - 7k does anyone else's turbo make a "ffffa" "ffffa" "fa" sound until i shut off as the revs go up? I dunno if its a leak or a crack in the turbo or something or totally normal. Hopefully someone can put my mind at ease.

Hello mate it depends on wat mods you are running.
Take a vid of the sound and we can ans it properly.

Its completly standard, il see what i can do about a recording, thx.

Welcome Alexz, ffff fffa ffffeul

is it not the 3 port boost solenoid dumping excess pressure??

welcome!

Do you have an induction kit?/is the car standard?

Sorry I can't help more, I had this but I can't remember what the problem was. There was something sticking on the turbo. Some sort of wastegate or something like that. It wasn't a big problem if I recall. Where in the world are you?

I'm in Norfolk, Norwich to be more precise. So the best thing I can do is take it to a specialist to gave it a look? Did it cause loss of power on yours?

Must feel very different to the RX8
