Hello,
I was going down the road today and my turbo changed tones. My exhaust is off the car, so you can really hear the turbo. While accelerating with traffic you can hear it spooling, not necessarily making boost but you can hear it ready to come to life. Today while accelerating, the turbo was spooling then the noise went away like within 2 sec. Its like it stopped spinning. It did this about 3 different times. I got on the car a little and it did build boost. What do you guys think, is my turbo about ready to crap out? Is this a common sound when they are ready to go? Or something else I should look at? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
