squeal at startup? not a belt....

Good morning PSN,
I have recently noticed on cold starts a quick squeal at start up. I assume it has something to do with my turbo, as it starts normally, but the turbo takes a few seconds to spool. It seems as soon as it squeals, the turbo starts spooling up.

Is this a big deal? turbo going south? once started, seems completely normal. I haven't checked for any play yet, going to do so today. truck has 150K on her.

As always, any insight is greatly appreciated!

Also, I have recently done a 4" turbo back exhaust and noticed a few more turbo farts than with the stock exhaust. Mostly when towing. Should i be alarmed?

At a minimum, your turbo needs to be cleaned. More than likely it needs to be rebuilt or replaced.

I have same problem with 04. It is an exhaust leak at the collectors off manifold into the y pipes or the metal gasket in between the right up and the left one.

An exhaust leak would be an almost constant squeal, not just at start up.

i am just trying to rule out quick and easy fixes people would never think a squeal would come from. i thought the bearings were toasted in turbo but turbine was loose with no tightness. fins did not hit housing.

hmm, nope not quite. It starts up just fine and for about 5 seconds it sounds almost like a gasser then a quick high pitched squeal, and immediately after you hear the turbo hissing like normal.

That knock sounds rough!
