Anyone else's '03 turbo whine?

I noticed a whine from my turbo after I installed an aftermarket SS O2 housing. I didn't hear it that loud before, but now it's pretty loud. It almost sounds like a supercharger whine. Both my roommates have 9 turbos and their turbos don't whine. I haven't been able to decipher if this is a 9.8 hotside turbo characteristic or not. There is no shaft play though, and it holds 22psi with my hallman no problem. Anyone have a clue?

most likely its a exhaust leak or your lower intercooler pipe is leaking at the turbo/licp connection
