Squeaky Turbo?
Problem is every now and then you will hear some light squeaking sounds come from the turbo. New turbos (less than 20k miles) Boost is good (no gauge though) anyone got any ideas?

Are you sure its the turbos or could it be the belts/pulleys? I get a squeeking in mine when I drive earlier in the morning, but it goes away when it warms up. What's the climate like where you are?

Yeah, check the belts. I'm pretty sure that's what's squeeking in mine. It could be any one of the pulley bearings squeeking before the bearing lube warms up. If you don't mind getting a sore back, you could just dig into the engine and try squirting some lub into the pulley bearings and see if that helps. Unless you have ball bearing turbos, I wouldn't think it'd be the turbos themselves. Even then, they'd have to be fairly old to be squeeking. I'd just check out the belts and pulley bearings.
