Another telltale sign is a whistling turbo.

Here's a youtube video of it.. it didn't happen very often, only about 3-4 times over a 3 month period. I noticed it while driving and pulled into some random neighborhood to shoot this video before it went away.


What can we do If we noticed same issue with this video ?
I have same smoke problem now.. with my rb turbos
