Turbo Whistle

Hi, all!

Quick (and maybe a dumb...) question... Should I be able to hear my turbos whistling on my 2013 F150 Ecoboost? I don't hear them on the wife's 2016 Expedition...

I've never thought of that. I'll have to look at it when she gets home later this week. Thanks!

On the newer >15 Ecoboosts, there's a couple of mods to make the turbo more noticeable. Dunno if it applies to this gen. Did you buy it used? If so a previous owner could have changed something.

Yea, I bought it used a few weeks ago. It's got a hesitation with the throttle and been wondering it that may have anything to do with it. It's got about 101k. It's a really clean pickup so kinda think that nothing has been jacked around with. Everything seemed pretty clean and in order under the hood when I bought it. Need to crawl around and see if a turbo boot or something is loose.
