Might want to pressure test your intake tract and look for a leak....

...check your wastegate. Do you have a boost gauge? Are you losing boost?

Is it a high pitched whistling sound while accelerating at around 70 mph?

While accelerating at around 70 mph I get a high pitched whistling sound, sort of like a faint electronic hum or tuning fork sound coming from the front. As soon as I let up on the throttle it goes away, and when I put my foot back on it returns. It's faint and quite high pitched. I have never been able to get it diagnosed -- my dealer won't drive the car above 55 and they don't have any clue what it might be. I know it isn't belt related. I'd be very curious to know what you find out. Good luck.
