Default Let me get this straight: loud turbo whine BEFORE boost==ok, after == :-(

In general, is that the deal? Have a *loud* whine for last 12K miles (at 92K now), still boosting great, but paranoid things are on the way out.

Of course noise came on right after 3" TBB tear, deviation DTC and all that...

Does it sound like a fire engine siren or the same old woooosh you have always had?

Default Its siren like...but kinda like a louder version of how the turbos sound on a cold morning.

Not a metallic sound at all. In fact, on cold mornings (ie 40 degrees of less), I can hear them both (always have been able to), but before they were, let's say, in haramony. Now, passenger side is singing louder.

Default dont worry about it, people go tens of thousands of miles with their turbos 'singing' like that

start putting aside extra money as you can, but dont freak out until you see the smokescreen

That's what I figured. Nice to hear occasionally though. Thanx!

When people dive for cover as your air raid siren drives past... that's when you worry
