My firecomany's M1028 needs an exhaust, and I am currently having a tough time finding one. We have talked to the local exhaust shop, and they don't seem real interested in helping much. At least not unles it is for a good buck. They started talking about $1000 without even opening a book and...

I am guessing that my new sound that I heard yesterday is the turbo. It sounds like a loud sucking noise when under load. I checked quick yesterday to see if I saw anything noticable and didn't. Today on my way home it was the same and I noticed that the boost gauge is reading lower than normal...
