Turbo Squeak?

Turbo Squeak?
I have a 03 WRX 4 months old and standard, I have noticed that when I rev the engine from idle you can hear the turbo squeaking. Does anyone know if this is normal?
Thanks.

?? The turbo is "squeaking"? No, not normal. Are you sure it's the turbo and not an exhaust heatshield rattling/resonating? Either way, it's a new car, and if in doubt, take it down to your dealer.

It like the squeak you can hear on the WRC's on the telly, does anyone else get the same noise?
There's no way your car should be making this noise if it's standard, and if it is, there's likely to be something wrong with it. As mentioned above, down the dealer and let them have a look at it.

Lol! If it was a loose belt, you'd expect to hear the noise as you rev the engine up, not on the overrun.
Also, if it was a loose accessory belt, you'd expect to hear the same noise if you wind the steering onto full lock. Thus, it's easy to rule this out.
