help: "squeaking" sound?
so lately i've noticed a "squeaking" or "squealing" sound coming from my engine through hard acceleration (almost redlining it). previously i heard a mild, almost a whistling sound come from my engine whenever i would be lightly boosting but now it seams a little more pronounced. my car's engine is completely stock and i've been running a n1 catback for the past ~10k mi.
any opinions on what it might be?

check your turbo inlet.
when you say lightly boosted, how much boost? my sti (and all turbo subys i have owned) will have that turbo whistle when you are on-gas and just about on boost. if it is that noise, but more pronounced, possibly your inlet has torn and is exposing the turbo inlet.
just a thought....

Could just be a leak. I don't think an entire hose is disconnected. (has happened to me) That will cause a huge drop in boost and a very loud air blowing/sucking sound. Very obvious.
As for my car right now, I have so many squeaks and rattles, it's ridiculous, but its no doubt all the suspension components i'm running.
