My car randomly started making a whining noise when the turbo spools up. It's always had the faint whistle under boost, but this is a totally different sound. It still drives fine, and it seems to build boost (it doesn't seem to bog down).
What could be the cause of this? I have to be driving to recreate it so I have a hard time pinpointing what's making the noise. After digging through the forum, it sounds like it could be a turbo problem but I'm unsure how to diagnose it. I have to pull the turbo out with the exhaust manifold in the next few days to fix an exhaust leak anyway.
