NEED TURBO HELP PLEASE
i just finished a long repair that took long because i had to wait to get paid and wait for parts. a few months sitting near tampa florida. i replaced the oil cooler and two injectors, the radiator also........the turbo was stuck till i drove down the street and back. i heard it break loose. its sticking a little. the problem is its making a loud sandpaper like sound only when i press the gas and sticks sometimes. will it clear up thru daily driving or is there something i can do? do i need to crack it open and clean it? will i need a new turbo?

Anytime I have a turbo off it comes apart. It's not hard or time consuming.
If you know there is a problem with the unison ring sticking than the turbo has to come off and disassembled, cleaned, & reassembled to know its cured when you're done.

Are you sure it's the unison ring making noise and not a wore bearing and the blades are hitting the housing or something?
I don't know what you mean it sounds like sandpaper.
Are you sure you don't have a boost or up-pipe or Y-pipe leak?

It sounds like a bearing to me. Would a rebuild kit solve it or do I need a need turbo?
You think it's safe to drive?

I would not drive it. I would remove it, inspect for the cause, then take action of order parts or if damage is severe buy a replacement turbo.

You really don't want a turbo to grenade on you and destroy internal parts.
