Default Help.. I think?

Trucks a 2004 ext cab 5.3 trick turbo. 14 psi. Heads and cam


Heading home tonight I sped up after turning onto the highway turning home " the light started to change " and in doing so i broke tracking a little I peddled through the light prob got in and let out 2-3 times but in a quick burst 30-65 maybe? Neways now when I hit around 5+ psi there's a noise in the front end almost sounds like a hub barring but only under boost over 5psi. And weirdly it sounds like it's coming from the drivers side... Any ideas?

Here is a idea. Stop hauling *** through a changing red light.

weird. a wheel bearing would be an issue when ever your driving. Try turning the wheel all the way right and left to see it if makes noise. i would doubt its boost related, more like load causing the noise. Any vibration in the wheel?

Doesn't seem to have any vibration. And its only making the noise 5+ psi. It sounded like it's coming from the drivers side but could be wrong? I pulled the air filter off the turbo almost looks like a little wear maybe but Idk. Shaft spun great both ways and couldn't feel any play. Also believe my Pcv valve is no good so I'll be getting a new valve cover too :/

Looking at the turbo itself and to me the shaft has a good deal of play. And the housing is shinny where the blades would make contact? Only have maybe 3-4000k on the turbo but it is a cxracing one. There intro turbo. Not sure what to do from here. As far as that goes...
