So I was moving my throttle cable around the other day so the hood wouldnt come down on it (I hae a 3sgte) and afterwords I took the car for a little spin and the turbo started making a squeeling/squeking (i cant spell) noise. My first guess is the turbo is leaking cause it seems to be losing boost, but i just got the car recently and am new to working on engines so any help on how to fix the issue would be a HUGE help. Thanks

post some pictures of the engine bay... maybe there is something we can notice by looking at them.
you should probably start out by reading something like this. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turbo.htm it might help you understand turbo cars better, and might give you an idea into whats wrong. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

so today while driving just for a little I noticed the car jerking while testing out the turbo in higher rpms. I wasnt going crazy with it by anymeans but on occasion it would jerk a few times when i hit the gas...it almost felt like a mini-stallout. The squeeky noise is a not as loud but i can still here it sometimes. any further suggestions on what it may be? by the way all your help has been really great so keep it coming ;-)
