Have a distinct whistle from the Turbo when easing load on to the engine - all speeds, more noticeable at lower speed - under 50mph due to traffic noise I guess..
The vehicle isn't short of "GO", but from my Discovery TDi days, I'm sure there is a leak with this amount of noise.
I understand the turbo is behind the engine, cos I'm damned if I can find it or any of the pipes either...
I did an EGR removal recently, but it was blowing before that any way...
Any one have any pics or know where these will blow more readily or most likely ??

Re: Whistling Turbo.. E53 Diesel
Turbo is low left front about mid way back. Pipe work is from above the radiator (inlets) and via the inter cooler (below rad) and back up again. Nothing at the back.
Turbo whistle is pretty common. Mine did it but I only heard it with the window open and at low speed.

Many thanks Richard,
