My turbo now sounds like some hardcore aftermarket turbo or big turbos you hear from STI, EVO......etc. The hisssss is really loud and and much louder than before, sounds cooler but I dont think this is a good sign. I take care of my turbo really good tho, I let it cool off before turning it off since day 1 . I wait a few minutes for the turbo to be under 350 EGT

How is your boost holding up? Usually they get a lot louder when you develop a boost leak. Last two times I chunked a turbo it would screech from the compressor wheel hitting the housing.

I would pull the intake off and check the compressor wheel/housing to see if there's been contact between the two. Check the shaft play while you're in there too.
