White turbos are so hot.

Glad you've figured the issue out and that it wasn't anything major!!

Have you considered changing the orange side markers to clear units (with clear bulbs that light up amber)?
Easy 2 minute DIY.

Might even consider having Eric paint the rear bumperettes white to match the body color. Still no idea why the Carreras received factory painted bumperettes while the Turbo did not ...

Thanks for the update.

BTW, I just had the power steering tank in my 03 Turbo replaced. That part # looks familar...

The result was not only was the high pitched squeal gone but overall the engine sounds a bit quieter.

When I mentioned this to the tech that did the work he offered the unofficial opinion that the valve makes a high pitched squeal at times but at other times it can make a rattle or perhaps produce some other noise in the power steering fluid system.

I'll never know I guess.

Sincerely,

Macster.
