Turbo Sounds Like A Blower?

got my ute back on the road with its mods, namely an FG intake arrangement and when things are coming right up on boost there's a noise that sounds much like a supercharger whine on the drivers side. I can't put my finger on what it is.

I did crack the PCV and glued it up as a stop gap solution. Other thoughts are that it could be a harmonic in the intake, the intake pipe collapsing under vacuum, harmonic in the bov line.

Or maybe something more insidious like a dying turbo...

(Will post a vid later for the audio)

From what I have read, this guy had the turbo like that for a few months, but then replaced the turbo.

That is one of the best burnouts I have seen from an XR6T. I have no idea how he got so much smoke coming out of those tires.
