I cant hear my turbo whistle anymore at idle or normal driving, just a little when i get on it. Is my turbo worn out?? If so rebuild or replace??

if thats not it remove the intake and check the play in the compressor wheel. Some up and down is normal but in and out is not.

Also look and make sure the compressor wheel has not hit the cover.

How many miles? You really need a set of guages. Have you noticed any blac smoke? How about change of performance? If your turbo all of a sudden stops working - you should be able to notice that right away.
