I did not hear it during the test drive.

 

I believe you are right. The pulley is squeaky. When I had the airbox off, I sprayed it with some lubricant and it quieted down. However, the squeak is back and so is that horrible noise.

I'm ordering one on Monday. Does $250 sound right on this part? Is there a more reasonable option?

Thanks,

I did sign up. I would really like to have the 997 light look. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Very nice looking car you are bringing to this board.

Glad you got the noise sorted and the overboost issue.

 

i got my yellow 996 turbo from law auto group also! decent folks to work with. nice pics. whats on the center of the roof in the first pic?

 

It was a Sirius satellite receiver. Removing it was my first work on the car.

So far they've been decent at Law Auto Group.

 

I think I paid around $150 for the pulley but that was a couple of years ago.

 

I have a similar howling from my '01 Turbo. Did you get to the bottom of it and find the fix? The howling from the engine bay or rear of the car comes on when accelerating hard at 3500rpm then goes away as the revs continue to climb. The howl is intermittent. thanks kenny

 

Change your diverter valves

drive down to us and lets pressure test the car... I bet Ill find at least 3 things broken or loose... I find it every time... lol

 

What makes you think it's the dv? Why at initial acceleration then goes away? thnks kenny
