Ticking /Knocking noise

[isTURBO]

Hi Guys

Ive finally got the exhaust on and its still settling in.

We noticed a slight ticking noise when the exhaust went on and we started the car. It sounded like noisy tappets at first.

The MS isnt on so the car has a sputter in the low gears at low revs, however at about 4000rpm and over as the turbo boosts we noticed a puff of smoke pass out the exhaust and the ticking became more prominent.

We drained out the oil today and test drove the car however the noise seems to have developed into a knocking sound , however minus the MS the car still feels quite strong at 4000rpm and over.

Anyone have any idea what it could be or has anyone experienced similar symptoms on their turbo setup, please feel free to post your comments.

Thanks

sounds like the exhaust manifold is not sitting square on the head or a damaged mani gasket mate

Anyone else with a possible diagnosis.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

from what i have seen i think this car has been run boosted without any management and i presume the engine is scrap as its prob been pinking and basically screwing its self
Soory for the being the bearer of bad news

agreed , im guessing it has detonated its self to pieces.

Why would you run the car on standard management that is crazy.

Just come from Ant

Seems to have "dropped a cylinder".

Having a go at the plugs but as feared im sure the motors stuffed.

Time to move on.

Cheers guys for the feedback.
