wemt to drive car this morning and notice when I'm building boost, at about 6-8 psi it makes this sound (in video) I'm being told boost leak, I'm hoping it is. I built a blt today but had to stop to get ready for work so won't be able to do it till tomorrow night. Just wanna know if I'm looking in the right direction.
 
It could either be a big air leak that is whistling or your turbo could be whining and on it's way out. I would leak test the car and before you do that just pull the intake off the turbo and feel how much play you have in the turbo. If it wiggles around a bunch then you're turbo is dead.

I've checked for shaft play there's very very little side to side and no in and out. Side to side is almost like it doesn't move
