TURBO Problems

I have a 2004 PSD 6.0 and am having Turbo problems. I think that the waste gate is hung open. While the truck is at idle you can hear air hissing as if there is a vaccum/boost leak. Anyone help? Truck has 4500 Miles and is going to dealership in a week thats the closest appointment.

I had the same problem. It turned out to be a leak in the drivers side of the y-pipe coming off the back of the turbo. The tech is a close personal friend of mine. He fixed it yesterday and said it was a real pain to get to. Ended up removing trans and transfer to accomplish.

Mine makes this same hiss, I asked the service manager and he said it was just the turbo drawing in air. Maybe this is where my fuems are coming from that seem to invade the inside of my cab?

the other end of the y-pipe is connected to each side manifold
fumes was the biggest complaint but the real confirmation came when i noticed the black **** build up on the drivers side firewall
