'noisy Turbo'

[9jaguy]

Hello all, is there anything you can do if the visual safety report after a full service at Toyota indicates the turbo is 'noisy'?

It was marked 'amber'. Just wondering if there is anything one can do to prolong its life.

Thanks for your replies.

Yeah, that's a bit vague... can you ask them for some clarification?

e.g. do they mean the whistle louder than it should be or is the bearing rattling?

The oil was there for about 12k miles before the latest service.
