I also have a new FM modulator for mt Ipod, that could be the source of the noise!! I didnt use it today and never heard the noise!

But i am still unsure and will continue to monitor.

 

Please tell me this chunk gone is normal...

 

Can't see what you're talking about.

Same, pictures are way too blurry.

 

i have drawn a red circle around it.

 

this one on ebay is missing the same chunk.

 

i will get a better piuc of mine with a digital camera instead of my phone.

 

that doesnt look normal to me. take off the afe and smarty if its really bothering you and run it by dodge. is there a possibility something from the intake install happened to find its way past the filter?

and thats pretty close to the inside of the wheel...is there any damage to the outside edges or any wear marks

the afe is already off, thats how i discovered it. i have the stock intake back on.

the hx35 pics i found on ebay is missing the same piece!!! thats why its leading me to believe its normal.

the truck ran fine yesterday.

 

Mine is the same as well. Been that way for 80,000 miles. Just the way it is made.

 

ahhhhh thats what i wanted to hear.

i found some more pics of holset turbos on ebay and most are missing that piece!!! weird.


brett if you have the time pull your intake tube and check it out for me.

i love this site!

anyone know why they are built that way?

 

both these holset turbos are missing it:
