Default Damn whistling sound from turbo/engine (i dunno where) is driving me crazy! help!

When i press on the gas it just sounds like a drill. I hear my turbo in the background but its embarassing having my Bessey (my audi) whistling like that- I dunno if im losing boost or somethings wrong???

If you want to find out, maybe a boost gauge would help?

You could find a used or even new ko3 for cheap, ko4 will run you around 700 at the cheapest.
