Interesting engine sounds after extended driving (~30 mins)

Other than the sound, the warning lights. It shows up as reduced boost. I wasn’t able to get the turbo above 2lbs boost on my way to bring it back to the dealer. It’s a known issue at this point and the service department has been great. It sounds like just a bad batch of turbos (ford contracts the manufacture).

Got it, that is good to know. In that case I'll keep a close eye on everything. At the moment I don't warning have any signs on the dashboard and acceleration/boost seems to be the same as when I first drove it, but that can obviously change any instant. It's helpful to know this has been a common issue in the case it does pop up.

I got that weird whistling sound a few times before the lights came on. I almost thought it was a air leak in the hardtop but it never changed based on mph. Hopefully they have the turbo issue sorted as the miles I got with proper boost had plenty of oomph for me. Still very pleased with my purchase despite the issue. 2dr/badlands/sas/lux.
