Turbo ploblems??its making a new sound

Well i drove my car really hard about 4 nights ago and today for the first time i gave it into full boost and the turbo kinda sounded like a window was open a bit..u know that sound?? it wasnt making the higher pitch wistle at 5500 to 6500 rpms...

i havent noticed and power loss or gain yet though..any ideas of that the problems could be..cracked tid?or did i just free it up more because i have only had the car for 2 and a bit months and the old owner didnt drive it hard at all..

Definitely didnt free anything up. You probably cracked something or blew something off.

if you want to be extra sure the turbo is good take off the TID and check the turbo for play. What kind of exhaust do you have?
