Can you take a video of it? Do you have a boost gauge?

Yes it is damn cold hear in Michigan,on warm up it is normal for me to hear it kick on and off.Now I hear it driving down the road.3.5 in to a 4in out the back,you can really hear it.I don,t have boost gauges and no way to video.
Don,t you loose boost if it opens?

Well I would get some gauges so you can see whats going on. As to the flap maybe reach on the turbo and see if its flopping around. If I remember there's a video on utube that shows you what it sounds like when its closed.

This is my first post so I hope it works. After purchasing new intercooler boots from dieselsite $300 and a new waste gate control $150 and a wicked wheel. I found that an ATS turbo housing will take care of the issue and more. This is one of the only mods I have been glad I did. It will fix turbo surge and will also reduce squeel from intercooler boots. Trust me it is not the waste gate.
