Whistling noise after JB4 install on 1.8T

Hey guys,

Is it "normal" to hear a whistling noise under hard acceleration from the engine with JB4 on Map 2? I'm guessing it's actually coming from the turbo spooling up. It sounds like a whistle that goes from a moderate to high pitch for like a second when I punch the accelerator.

I don't think I ever heard that noise before the JB4 install.

Every car on the road makes this noise now...


...if it creaks, it's probably made by VAG
