Well I think after 153K miles I might need a new turbo for the truck. I started hearing a whistle every now and then the last few days. Tonight the whistle starts at about 7 psi and only gets louder with boost. I don't have any issues with abnormal EGT's and no excessive smoke. I have a fairly hot tune in it so I would see smoke if I wasn't making air.
So my questions are:
1 Do I need a new turbo or am I missing something?
2 If I need a new turbo, what turbo do I put on it?
I don't tow often and when I do its never more than 12K. Its a stick truck so it needs to behave well with a stick. I don't need to make stupid power, 400-500HP is all she needs and I don't want to chance lifting the stock head with bolts.
Thanks for the input.
