yeah my xt turbo is whining a little louder than normal. could this be a sign of my hearing coming back or my turbo going bye bye? so far i haven't lost power and oil is find, no over heating thus far. what other things do i need to look out for?

I pull off the hose on the intake compressor side. Stick my finger down the hole and wiggle the prop shaft. Also note how much oil (hopefully none!) is all over that intake compressor housing. That's my junkyard analysis :)

Yep that's all i really go by too.
