Ok, so here's a thing. About 18 months ago I replaced my Td4's intercooler for a large one from Allisport. At the same time I replaced the intercooler hoses with silicone ones. I noticed immediately that I could hear the turbo spooling up. But this noise faded over time and was less noticeable. I've recently changed my MAF sensor with a brand new Bosch one due to slight loss of power and black smoke. The smoke has now cleared and power has been restored.
However, I've just changed my turbo hose for silicone and straight away I can hear the turbo .It's really loud even with the window closed. If I take my foot sharply off the gas when changing gear it sounds like I have a dump valve fitted. All fittings are tight with no leaks.
Just worried turbo may be on it's way out,or could it just be a combination of new MAF and silicone hose ?
