Have you pulled off the intake boot and checked for play yet? Sorry could not remember.
My guess is...based on how strong your truck has been running and how often you like to use that power...turbo is wasted. It does not take much to throw off something that spins 30,000 rpms on a film of oil.
62, 64, 66's (S300 based) don't live a long life on HEAVY fuel. They work nice...for a while...but don't last if you use that power daily.
Great tow turbo...and dyno queen, but not a 500hp plus daily driver.
Get it fixed...and upgrade the size a little...it will make it last longer the second time.
BTW...I was getting that same sound my last 1000 miles out of my A5k.

I'm going to dyno it this saturday then pull one of the boxes off just to be nicer to the turbo.
You are right, i do use the power and then some on a daily basis. max boost and up to 85-100mph just about daily. I drive this truck HARD.
Like i said earlier, i don't have time mess with it much til mid-May...then I'll be looking for alternatives.

You sound like me...
I drive 35 miles of interstate to and from work every day. In those 70 miles...several excuses to blast from 65 to 100 WOT ALWAYS occur.
It is like several mini dynos a day!
