is it definately the turbo? there could be a very small chance that it is one of the belts (fan, etc) slipping with the sudden increase of acceleration. then once they heat up they are slightly stickier so they grip a bit better. worth a look atleast.

If you can get to your in take tube easily take that off the turbo and see how much end float you have. Just grab the turbo shaft and try and move it back and fourth. There should be a little bit of end float so don't be alarmed if it does move a bit. (Do this when the engine is cold and stopped). If there doesn't seem to be much end float you may have a leaking intake manifold gasket. A easy may to check this is to start your engine and let it idle, get a can of aerostart and LIGHTLY spray it around the intake manifold where it bolts to the haed. if you have a leak it will be sucked into engine and you will hear your engine start to run a little rough and maybe increase in RPM. (Try not to spray aero start any where near electrical conectors eg injectors). As i said you will only need a little bit of this stuff to notice a difference in the way your engine run, so don't just keep spraying it around for the fun of it, as it make's a hell of a mess.

Hope that helps mate.

manifold turbo gasket bro

if ur real unlucky turbo but go with the first 1

have a look around the flange for black shit as a sign leakage

thanks for that ill do that the squeal is actually a screeching sound hopefully its what you guys say it is

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
