What kind of strange noise? I ran an OTR rock bucket for awhile and had a 400 HP Cummins. Turbo developed this squeal that followed the rpm's up and down.

Spent $700 and a day down time (another several hundred $) and lo and behold the noise was still there.

Seems that if you get a pinhole (all it takes) in your high pressure line to the engine inlet, it will squeal.

So before you dump the life's savigs, might THOROUGHLY check all connections and all tubes and hoses (if any) for tight joints and no holes.

The tubo is a very simplistic turbine wheel with ceramic bearings. It has one moving part and it is tough tough tough. Nothing much to break and the ceramic seals just don't wear out.
