Is my Turbo Blown Video?
It was a very hot day in Ohio around 100 degrees. I was making a lot of stops and turning the engine off with out letting the the turbo cool down first. I was completely forgetting how hot the day was and did not let the oil flow through the turbo before shut down. Then while I was driving it I got into the throttle and all of a sudden it started loosing power, then started making a leaf blower sound or more like a blown up vacuum cleaner noise. I immediately pulled over and poped the hood to check for blown off CAC connections. I did not find any obvious problems. I then started the truck again and it still was making the noise when reved up (no noise at idle). I then drove the truck for about a block to check to see if it could build boost and it wouldn't build a single pound. I knew something was majorly wrong so I had it towed home from there. Also no major amounts of smoke. No smoke at idle and just a little bit in bursts when I was driving it down the block to check for boost. I read usually blown turbos dumb loads of blue smoke. Thats not happening. Today I took off the air box and got a look down the turbo. All the fins look and feel fine. The compressor side spins freely and has no resistance. Feels normal to me. I started the truck for a brief second to take this video. Any ideas before I just start tearing it down?

Mind I ask if you replaced the seals of the turbo when you cleaned it?

It was only ran without the filter for the duration of the video. It was in a clean environment so I don't think it harmed it any. I wanted it off so I could see if the compressor side of the turbo was spinning.

Seals? I don't remember there being any seals in the turbo when I cleaned it. I bought the ford cleaning kit and followed its instructions. I did replace the gaskets that the oil tubes connect to. The one up top and the o ring down bottom if that's what your talking about.

Anyone have any idea on what's causing this sound?

Do you have a monitor? Have you checked the vgt sensor and plug? Do you have any dtc's? I don't think you trashed your turbo just because you jumped in your truck and took off.

Ok, checked out the vid, bad boot or exhaust flex joint. Common. Imo.
