On cold nights when I start her up and drive off, the turbo is very noisy. Makes a loud higher pitched whine then normal. Is this normal or should I take it to Fraud?

Try turning off the car and feeling the intake pipe whilst the turbo spins down. If there is a viabration and excessive noise, could be your bearing within the turbo.
