Proved Bout A Dozen PSD Mechanics Wrong

For over 3 years and 60+k miles been telling mechanics and service writers my turbo was bad,they said nothing wrong
Just got it back with recon turbo and drove only bout 3 mi and can tell the difference
The familiar whistle I ain't heard in a long while is back and has as much boost coastng a 45 as did running 55 before and can hear whistle a take off
can't hardly wait to see how it oes on he road
