I changed my turbo due to it going out. Replaced it with another Garrett and now my exhaust whistles bad. Could it be the wastegate valve messed up? I have 5" exhaust. After changing the turbo and cranked it and blew off a hose going to the wastegate due to the wastegate electrical was unpluged.

Also, what type of intake do you have, I have the K&N on my 04, 6.0. It whistles like mad under any load. I have a shortend 4" exhaust also. Makes the noise more pronounced.
