ive had my red tp for over a year now and resentlly it began to make a different spool noise when under wot. it is stil boosting fine but the spool sounds more like a whistle now and im just curious if that is a precursor to turbo failure....the lag is normal and as i said so is the boost...i have the boost set at ten lbs right now...ne ideas??

Is there a leak in the intake before the turbo? A hole could cause a whistling sound. Also, check your air filter to see if it is still in good shape.
