April 26, 201214 yr #12 Author Hey, we've gone a little off track. Any have any more comments on my original post?"I am a first time xr6T owner and have recently had the turbo in my FG replaced under warranty (65k kms) It still had plenty of power but was whining obtrusively on light to medium boost. I was told by an independent turbo specialist that the original turbo was "out of balance".Well, the new turbo makes the same noise when it is "spooling", just not quite as loud. Is this normal for it to be heard clearly inside and outside the cabin?Additionally, there is now another noise especially when the motor is still warming up. When the turbo turbo kicks in on light to medium throttle, a grating type noise, similar to static on a radio that is not tuned in, can easily be heard inside the cabin. I'm not sure if it is the turbo, but it is related because it only happens when the turbo is boosting. It just doesn't sound right!Does any of this make sense? I may be a bit pedantic, but if anyone has experienced this themselves or has any suggestions, please let me know. "
