Release value sound on NA
 

hello
i'm about to buy a 1988 Porsche 944 NA
i was test driving it
and as i stopped at an intersection, i heard something like a release value for a turbo
sound like my friends Talon AWD Turbo
same sound as the air being released from a turbo
the seller says the car is nonturbo
i checked the engine, didn't look to be a turbo, but wat do i know
any ideas?
is this normal?
thanks

Did you have the AC on?

an AC can make a similar noise when it is low on freon

AFJuvat

brake booster leak?

wats that mean
serious problem?
thanks

not too big of a deal. You didn't happen to stop off at Taco Bell on the test drive did ya' ;-)
I would bet it is a leak somewhere, not that that narrows down the search much.
You should DEFINITELY take the car to a PORSCHE shop for a pre-purchase inspection before buying it though.

If it was a turbo you can bet he wouldn't be denying it!! I do remember seeing an add somewhere for some gizmo that "simulates" a blow-off valve, pretty comical.

Where are you located? I may be unloading a few Porsche's.

i live in maryland

the seller is getting the car inspected the 25th at a local shop that specializes in porsches

thanks

Where are YOU located? I may be interested in upgrading to a 951:D

I am in Virginia. If you are really interested i have a 951 that would be worth the trip. I have a good friend that has a few 951's he will sell, what is your budget, i am sure we can accomodate.
