Turbo Issues

Ever since I installed the Banks Exhaust on my 2005 Dodge Diesel, I have noticed that I can not hear the whine of the Turbo anymore like I used too. I have a boost gauge installed and under heavy acceleration it's pull nearly 30. Anyway to check to ensure the Turbo is still working, or maybe dying? 134,000 miles. Fuel Mileage is good. It also has the Monster Air intake, Banks Ram Air filter, larger intake tube and the banks controller.

You should be hearing SOMETHING.

Granted, the MONSTER exhaust isn't very loud; but mine screams with an AFE Stage 2 intake.

Pop the hood and see how it sounds from the engine bay with someone holding a little bit of throttle. You should be able to hear the turbo spool. I can hear mine at idle, but I'm not sure about the Banks intake.
