My question here may or maay nor be related, but it seems like there is a lot of chatter/clatter coming from the turbo itself lately. The engine is noticeably noisier at idle and almost sounds similar to a gas engine that has spark knock. Obviously that is not the case here, but wondering if anyone might have run into similar prob like this before.
As I mentioned in a previous post, the turbo has been inop for some time (no whine) but the car still runs good- albeit lacking kick and hill-climbing power.
Appreciate the input and responses here as always! Thanks.

As the Thrust Bearing wears the Compressor Wheel gets closer and closer to the Turbo Inlet Housing.
As the other Bearings Wear the side of the Fins get closer to either of the Housings.
As they wear the eventually make contact with the Housing. If the Wheels have rubbed at all during a rebuild they should be rebalanced.
On the Exhaust side there is a Calmp that Holds the connects the Tubo to the Expansiong Joint. I have tried to remove several Clams at the Junk Yard only to find the Nut is frozen on there.
If that happend to mine I think I would split the Nut rather than damage the clamp wich new cost a bit.
I had no issues with the other Blots that Held the Turbo in. But, I guess it is possible for them to be frozen.
It is a good time to replace the Turbo Draing 2 O-rings and Grommet as well as the Oil inlet and outlet gaskets.
If your Breather Drain is next to the Turbo Drain you need an O-ring for that also.
I think there is 2 big O-rings where the Turbo Connects to the Intake Manifold and of couse the Exhaust Manifold to Turbo Gasket.
