2010 gsr 35,500 miles turbo sounds like siren updated with video
A little background:
at 34K miles my motor blew. The car was repaired underwarranty.
I noticed that even right before that event, I would notice a whining/siren type noise. The more I accelerated the louder and higher pitch the whine got. I dont remember this noise when the car was new. From my search i seems it could be the Journal bearing worn out due causing shaft play, or the events that led up to the blown motor caused debris to strike the vanes of the turbine.
I asked the dealer during the warranty process to inspect the turbine for any damage, and the technician told me the turbo was fine. I noticed this noise is really loud when the car is cold, it isnt so loud when its warmed up, but i can still hear it. I can barely hear it on deceleration.
Anyways my question is, how much downtime is a turbo replacement job? Since this is my daily driver I wanted to see what I would be looking at for a replacement in downtime. In addition, instead of using an OEM Replacement, can I run an FPGREEN Ball Bearing on the stock internals and block, while keeping the boost around stock levels? I know it seems pointless but if I have to replace it, a better turbo would make sense. Do I have to upgrade my fueling system if I run stock boost levels? the FP green would just deliver that targest boost easier than the stock? Pardon the n00b questions.
