Does this sound normal for a turbo?

i recently traded in my 99" cummins for a 2001 powerstroke and im unsure if this sounds normal for a turbo on the powerstrokes

when im at higher rpms it sounds more like the exhaust is bypassing the turbine and screaming rather than any whistle from what im used to with my dodge (i will include a video)

i checked the turbo itself and its not dusted and has no play what so ever

could it be related to my wastegate (maybe stuck open?)

Sounds like your EBPV is stuck open. I had the same problem when it was around 30-40 degrees outside.

I took a loom and my ebpv was open so i took my finger and moved it with no effort over to closed and now she sounds great.

But i dont think that should be moving that easily

Most people just gut the pedestal and weld the whole shut, the. Others buy a non-ebpv pedestal for around $120 I believe.

I bought the non-EBPV turbo pedestal and the non-EBPV exhaust housing for the turbo. You simply unbolt the EBPV exhaust housing and bolt the new one on. Gets rid of that crap.
