Turbo Extremely Loud Now
Hey guys quick question. It's not that I mind the noise, but for some reason today, my turbo got a LOT louder and I haven't done anything to the truck lately. Everything seems to run fine. I haven't pulled the filter or anything to see what might be wrong, but I found it kind of odd that it would just start getting loud like that for no reason. Anyone else ever experience this? Thanks.
Maybe the filter pipeing ahs a hole in it or maybe came loose??? Only reason I can think of. <br>DM01

Checked the hose and it seems to be in tact, and tight on both ends. This is really weird. Boost isn't a problem by any means. I wonder what the deal is. Maybe I'm hearing things, but it sure does seem a lot louder since this morning. I usually can tell the difference.

I started hearing the exaust drone noise here recently. I thought it was the turbo for a while, Like you said it just started all at once, Is it a high pitch whistle. it could be the exaust.

Did you just get a haircut and uncover your ears? ;D<br><br>Maybe since the weather is getting warmer you are hearing that fan kick in more now as well. Just another guess here.

Jack -<br><br>I too noticed the turbo getting louder, and determined it to be the A/C lever in the defrost/floorboard setting. For some reason, it opens a vent that sounds like it is right near the hole in firewall for the scotty II. It only gets louder when in that position. Just a thought.

I'll have to play around with that a little bit. Thanks for the tip.
