Thanks, that is what i thought. I do not hear either engine spooling or whistling which is odd. I guess i could have had trouble with one and did not realize it (?) and now the other one is bad and the boat wont run up?

Possibly, but I don't think I would get up on plane without both turbos. So I think you would have noticed if one was not working.

Yea i would think i would have noticed. But again for both engines to have the same problem at the same time...
I put a soft plastic dowel in there to see if i could spin the compressor blades and could not. I did not try too hard though. So i guess i will be talking to elite diesel, they are the cat dealer around here. Anyone in this area know anything about them?

Do you normally let the engines idle for 5-10 minutes prior to shut down so that the turbos can cool down and not coke up the oil?
