Howling turbo?

Howling turbo?
I recently just posted this article about how i put a brand new transmission and torque converter in my truck and rebuilt the turbo. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...bo-sensor.html I still haven't got this issue fixed, however, my big question right now is does anyone know what would cause the turbo to sound like it is howling? Leak or loose boot on the intake or spyder maybe?

I remember that one being kind of a pain but I'm pretty sure it's in there. I may take it apart tomorrow and see if it fell or something.

With that being said you have a massive leak somewhere! Check the orange boots under the spyder there a pita to get lined up sometimes. Go look I would think its bad enough you could almost pull a pipe off with your hand if its an intercooler boot

I thought about that so I unplugged the connector for that thinking maybe it was shorting out somewhere and keeping it closed same results. Could it be hooked up wrong and it be closed all the time no matter what?

You could pull the clip off the end of the rod and disconnect it from the EBPV ( its not easy but can be done, reinstallation is a real bitch with everything installed) make sure the valve is moving freely and try driving with it disconnected.
also, have you pulled the intake up to the turbo and made sure the turbo is spinning freely?

I am still thinking it's boots. Unless you got something wrong when the turbo was apart, but not having done that myself can't point you in any direction. Have someone slowly raise the rpms while you listen under the hood. Build a boost leak detector and check all the boots. You did mention in the other post they looked dry rotted?

Well after work I got home planning on trying these ideas and ended up having to replace a dishwasher instead. Real joy. Anyways I did check alle the boots made sure they were on properly and tight didn't change anything. Today I'll try unhooking that rod and see what happens. Thanks again for all the suggestions!
