Hi
i get a humming noise from my turbo in the morning and only when cold. After everything warms up all is fine. Anybody else notice this.

Sounds ominous, my Turbo is conspicuous by the lack of noise it makes, even on heavy load you don't hear it. There are Turbo specialists who do exchange units, it is probably worth investigating that route if the Turbo unit gets noisier.

Try this link, havn't used this company, may be useful to you for research.
