    If it's a boost leak then shouldn't the loud whistle noise always appear? there's no noise if I drove without the trailer but only when I'm pulling something.

    if the truck isn't running/pulling badly,then perhaps the turbo is working properly especially since you installed a new turbo. i've been around trucks when that happened.i love to hear the turbo.did the boost increase after instaliing the new turbo?

    I'm not sure about the boost increasing but I don't thi k it did. But the truck pulls and performs very nicely. It's just the loud whistle sound that appears sometime gets me thinking if something is wrong.

    my turbo got loud after changing one of EGRs..

    turned out to be loose clamp/hose between AIR FILTER and TURBO on turbo side

    that a boost leak no doubt, also when the VGT actuator starts acting up you will get s whistle not as loud as a boost leak though

    Charge air cooler hose. It wont do it bobtailing cause its not working hard. When you hook up the trailer the turbo is boosting more. Take it off clean it and check it. Just a couple of clamps on it.
