Default Turbos

There has been posts of turbos going and both have to be replaced, how does one know when either turbo goes? Is there C.E.L? A noise?

Default I have not had an issue with my turbos, but understand they become excessively loud.

From what I read, when you have turbo probs you will not have any doubt they are going south.

Default Thanks,........

I will keep a good ear. I wish there was a better way. Maybe a boost gauge would be an option. Why didn't they put one in stock?

Many describe a dentist drill noise during their demise.
