    Default my brakes have a turbo?

    Hey guys, when I compress the brake peddle I hear a "pshh" sound. I still brake perfectly fine and its only when I fully compress the peddle. It sort of sounds like I'm using a foot pump. The sound is only faint and as cute as the little sound is, I don't want my brakes to be bad.

    Any clue? Normal brake sound? Fully sick brake turbo?

    Can you reproduce the sound when the car is stationary?

    Coming from under the bonnet where the brake booster/master cylinder is located?

    Could be the seal in the booster, they do deteriorate over time and will eventually leak

    i'd keep checking your fluid level everyday to see if its getting low.
    if its still staying the same level of fluid, i gess its just normal. but none of my cars have the sound???
    have you recently changed your fliud, it could be air in the lines.
    want to see more then a typical commodore fitted with an exhuast, then check my thread out... link broken cuase i dont own a tuff car, i just made it up...
