    ZD30 turbo making noise????

    hey guy,
    i have a 07 zd30 common rail with a half fked turbo (makes a nice high pitch sound when its cold)... i am just wondering if i can fit another turbo on it at all that might be a bit more cheaper than 2300 dollars

    thanks guys

    Are you sure its not an exhaust leak? It is known that they warp manifolds and can give the same noise you describe. The reason the noise goes away once warm is all the parts have expanded and closed up the gap.

    Have you pulled the intake from the turbo and checked for excessive play and end float in the shaft?

    I had to take the Turbo for maintenance as it was leaking some oil from the top Hose, and after that I can hear the same noise you describe above, does the Manifold has a Gasket?
