Default MY95 Whistling on boost

I recently had a scoobyworld afterburner full system fitted, and now i can hear the turbo as a distinct whistle when its spools up to boost. i also have a HKS sequential BOV but ive checkd this it all seems to be sitting fine. is this normal? if not what can i do? thanks.

I'd check all the intake pipework and joints in the engine bay. It's possible something was removed to make it easier to fit the exhaust and wasn't done up properly when put back.

Generally the whistle is an air leak. As above, check all the pipework and clips for fitting. If not your exhaust might just be not seating properly?

If you have gone from a standard downpipe to a decat downpipe the 'whistling' could simply be the noise of the turbo spooling as this is noticeably more audible when you fit a decat downpipe.
