Turbo sound
I straight-piped my truck a few weeks ago and I now notice a harsh harmonic when I release the accelerator. Not sure if it's just because I hear the turbo more since I straight-piped it or what. It's not the same type of sound as when I hear the turbo spooling down when I shut the truck off. Just wondering if you guys think I should inspect the turbo for excess play or if it's normal and I'm just not used to hearing it.

I also have a whining sound when I get off the throttle. This is my first diesel so I dont know if it is normal. It started when I did the 6637 and 4" turbo back. Do you think its normal? How would I check the turbo?

So guys, I checked the turbo today. It was bitter sweet.
Look what I found. Luckily the turbo was unharmed and apparently I caught it early.
I put duct tape on it for a temporary fix, but am looking for a permanent fix now. Taping the whole has eliminated the turbo noise I was hearing, so if you are hearing turbo noise and are unsure I would recommend looking for something too. Better safe than sorry.

It looks like the oil has saturate the tube and the rubbing of the vacume line sawed through it over time.
