Question Turbo whistle after decat

Ive recently put a decat up/down pipe on my MY01 and have noticed the turbo whistling when spooling up-i thought this was normal,but ive just been reading a thread saying that a turbo that is whistling could be on its way out.

Mine is building boost fine--im just after any thoughts on this.

Nah, can't honestly say that the turbo ain't knackered but the increase in turbo whistle is normal.
