    Could just be a loose clamp on the air to air

    I'm with you on this one, but he hasn't described the sound, if the sound goes almost like a loud squeal or scream while pressing the accelerator and the truck is having a hard time making power, look for a loose clamp or a cut on a rubber boot.

    When my turbo use to make a loud scream, I found the 4 nuts that hold the turbo to the exhaust manifold to be loose and soot was all over the engine block near the turbo. Bought a gasket, installed it and made sure the nuts stay tight.
