My turbo started making much louder noises not unlike a dentist drill, after I reconnected the intake hose. I had it off to search for a coolant leak. The boot was torn so I tried to bandaid it with a piece on tire inner tube. I suspect a chuck of rotten hose was ingested and chewed up intake turbine blades. Has anyone used a rebuilder they would recommend? perhaps someone capable of upgrading better than stock.

An upgraded turbo is useless on an ECU controlled diesel without an upgraded ECU map to go with it, the standard turbo is allegedly good for 200hp & 340 ft/lb but the torque converter won't live long so budget for that too if you are chasing power.

The ECU has been flashed, only the lowest tweak from DIY ECU from LOST. I have a torque converter in mind. Thanks for the warning.
