remove tha air cleaner pipe were it ataches to the turbo and (with the eng off!!!)look to se if the fins of the turbo have been sraping on the housing or see if you can push the nut far enuff that the vane or fin will touch the housing......if so the noise is probably the turbo and it time for a rebuild or replacement!!!

so the fan blade has compleatly stoped and the sound can still be hered!
