It could be the turbo whistle. I've got a full decat on a MY01 WRX and I can hear the turbo until the exhaust note drowns it out :D

Did you fit it yourself, or did someone do it for you?

Without hearing the type of whistle it's hard to diagnose for you. But at a guess it's the turbo whistle.

Does it start at around 2000 rpm, and get higher pitched as the revs increase?

Just check under the bonnet and ensure all the hoses are connected at each end, just in case they removed any. And while you're there check the condition of them (I wish I had :()

Best of luck, and I hope it is the turbo
