Turbo Noise ETS PT 61 ball bearing
after looking at the vid i gotta tell you my turbo sounds nothing like that....there is something definitely wrong with that turbo. That sounds like poop
. There should be a slight noise but not that loud and grinding. Just talk to ETS, they will take care of you or atleast get you talking to the right people.
you sure that is your turbo? That almost sounds like Rod Knock lol I cannot see a turbo even with a messed up center cartridge sounding like that it sounds more like an engine noise. But its really hard to tell on a video because the mics on video cameras are so sensitive that close, good luck man I am sure Mike or Tom will be able to take care of you as they have helped me out very well in the past with other projects-JOEYD

OK so here is the story.....
Came home from work and turned off the car and when i was walking in front of the car i could hear the turbo slowing down which is normal, but it seemed louder than normal. I popped the hood jumped back in the car and re started it and turned it off again. Went back to the front of the car and the noise was I THINK louder then normal coming from the turbo. Almost as if the bearing was going. There is only 4k miles on the turbo. I took the intake off and there is almost NO shaft play and when i free spin it i can hear it spinning and it is some what loud.... So my question is , is this normal or do i have a problem on my hands?
here is a link to a quick video

Mine sounds nothing like that.. holy **** i would def be worried about that dude.. shid sounds like a dryer with change in it.. holy **** def call precision ASAP!
As we discussed over the phone, the best bet is to get it in to Precision and have them check it out. In the rare case of a failure, Precision is very good about honoring their warranty and quick turn around on a rebuild. While it doesn't sound "normal" it is hard to diagnose the problem remotely. Precision will be able to determine the cause of failure when they open it up and we'll go from there

precision said to send it to them, and they have to look at it.... i have to eat shipping both ways and they will let me know what they think..... so who knows i got it ripped out tonight and im shipping it out tomorrow. so it is in their hands now... i will keep everyone posted and let you know how it goes
