I have this whistling noise that comes from my turbo as it winds up and slows down through certain RPM ranges. A mercedes mechanic told me there is a gasket inside the turbo that has a pin size hole that is the cause of the problem. He said that most '85's experience this. There was a problem with the factory gasket and the replacement one cures the problem. He said it would be several hundred dollars labor to fix it. He said just turn up the radio and learn to live with it.

Has anyone else heard of this? What is involved in its replacement? I may do it myself if I learn more about it.

Thanks,

Scott
