or it could be your turbine blades starting to scrape against the housing lol

I have been experiencing this lately as well. I am thinking it is either the turbo about to die, or possibly a leak somewhere.

Replaced that about 18 months ago. Never heard the WGA whistle before it died before...
Heard that one before, don't think its it...
Yeah, I think I narrowed it down to a leak on the right side of the exhaust manifold gasket. My guess is when they replaced the broken stud over there, they didn't replace the gasket like they were supposed to. Now it doesn't fit correctly and is getting worse with age...

Yea I noticed what looks like carbon buildup at the runner closest to the drivers side so I'm thinking I have a leak.

I had a leak on my manifold because i was missing a bolt, and it didnt make a whistling sound at all...I would check the manifold for cracks, or double check the to make sure the turbine blades arent contacting anywhere.

Today was a big day for my MSP & Me...
Replaced the timing belt, water pump, and tensioner/idler.
Fabbed up my intercooler piping and installed it.
Removed my factory turbo and replaced the busted WGA. Replaced broken and missing manifold studs with ARP Fastners.
Replaced both radiator hoses.
All thats left is wire in my F/IC, AEM Uego wideband, and do my clutch and flywheel.
Oddly... I'm still having an overboosting concern. I'm using the ATP Wastegate actuator and 2.5" i/c piping. Its spiking up to 10 - 12psi, and blowing the throttle body coupler off.
Part of it may be the configuration of the vac lines, as the previous owner ****** with em', so I'll post a pic later and get soe 2nd opinions.
But other than the worn out WGA, what else has anyone seen on the MSP causing overboosting issues?

I am trying to switch to a recirc setup once again. What kind of hose did you use and where did you find it? Also I'm looking for a pipe to weld onto my intake.
haven't got that far yet, just doing some little things while watching basketball tournys. I'm looking at summit right now for a hose big enough for the greddy but no luck yet
