Re: Turbo Whistle noise

Update: Went to Toyota for diagnostics, they replaced the noisy turbo, and diagnosed the other sound as gearbox bearings, replaced them as well, but upon opening the gearbox, found that all gears, 1 to 5 & shaft needs to be replaced.

Took it to Toyota, mech said there was a batch of hiluxes where...
