when it starts to build boost, it is like a light switch, the sound goes from pass to drivers side and sounds like a shop vac w/ a whistle.

A bud with same mods rode with me and said WTH. This. not my 1st diesel but i did siliencer ring and intake at the same time so i thought it was the ring which is a first 4 me

Some side play, the fins are dusted @ 220k and tryed to pressure test the system and applying pressure through air intake its comming out the back side of the turbo intake housing between the alum and steel. boots pipes look tight

Q's
My driverside noise?
how bad?
how long do i got?

 

Probably have a bad boot on the piping that opens up under pressure.

 

what do you mean by "fins are dusted"?

 

chewed up from dust or something going through it. its a truck ALL stock with 223,000 miles with the stock air box I heard they dont seal.

i maybe put 3000 miles on is since bought it, and put my amsoil on it then. now im wondering how bad off i am with the motor.

But im updating my own status, the truck is parked untill new turbo. I need a hx35w cheap.

but if thats the orginal noise problem i duno

 

it could be. the sound may just be echoing. you definitly need a new turbo tho. put one in and see if it helps. if it does, problem solved.

 

Don't know what loud is, your describing. My 2000 3500 was loud when the snorkle came loose between the filter box and the wheel well. Really loud with a K&N in the box and the snorkle removed.
