noticed a little more than normal air sucking sound, checked under the hood, intake tube elbow was pulled off air box......

wonder if any damage with extra dirt sucking in ??

How long do you think it was run that way?

The leading edges of the turbo impeller blades can give some indication of dirt ingestion. The edges could appear as though they were lightly sandblasted with fine media.

couldnt been that long, truck barely has 1500 miles on it......more of a driveway ornament right now. running the van lately.

but only noticed differance in air sound last time i had it out. was louder.

hopefully no damage, clamps werent to tight from factory, i tightened all up ......
