NOTE:
Each turbocharger has a unique sound distinction or noise level when operating. If the sound cycles up and down, check for air restrictions in the intake tube and dirt build-up in the compressor housing/wheel. If a high pitched noise or whistle occurs, look for an inlet air or exhaust gas leak.
