Default Please, Don't Let This Be True!!!

I think my turbos are dying! I drove it hard last night for about 2 min and then let it cool off before shutting down. Today when I started driving the turbos sounded a little more whiny then they normally do... I sure hope they are not on their way out. I can't afford new ones right now. Grrrr......

Grandma Driving here I come!

dentist drill or just the spool up is louder? hard to tell without hearing. Keep out of boost as much as you can if you got the drill sound. I drove mine a little hard sometimes with the drill and it lasted like 3 months before the turbo blew.
Start saving!

Does it sound like a grinding noise or just a louder spool up?
