The turbo seems to have excessive whine noise when boosting. Is this normal for the FG? I took it back to the dealer to have some warranty issues sorted and they recon that its not noisy enough to replace it yet? Does anyone else have any troubles with their FG turbo being noisy?

I thought it was weird but my FG has been making a high pitched whine too. Only noticed it through winter but the ute is running perfectly. There is nothing wrong with it don't worry mate.
