Turbo cleaning

[florida 6.0]

05 6.0 , it takes a few minute for the turbo to to spool or whistle at idle when I first start it in the mornings . When do you know it is time to clean the turbo and how long is normal for it to get audible on a cold start ? Just realized I put this in the 6.4 section , sorry guys meant for the 6.0 , can a mod move it ?

Thanks ! Now I hope to get an answer or two before I pull a turbo that isn't in need of a cleaning yet .

Have you lost any power? Assuming it isn't a boost leak, it could be sticking or your actuator.

Nope drives normal . The truck runs great as usual .It just seems it was the turbo was louder at the tailpipe . I may be mistaken but wanted some input before I did un needed work on it.

i mean personally i wouldnt worry until i saw a decrease in power or excessive lag. you should be fine
