blown turbo?
I was on my way home today from a tbell run and i decided to romp on it around a corner, took it up to 6 grand and i hear the WORST whine coming from the center-ish area. Earlier that day i took off my BOV to attempt to change it out with a recirc, but decided to put it back on due to lack of time (getting dark). The gasket was chewed up but it looked fine for the most part, no tears or holes. Oil was changed less than 1k ago. I did take my TMIC off, but i put it back on nice and snug. Any suggestions??

STI pinks
TDO4 stock turbo
stock intake
Before anyone raises flags about the injectors, the previous owner had a vf39in it before i bought it, but failed to swap the injectors with stock
Any info would help, the whine only happens when im hitting high boost, proably from 10-18 psi. Otherwise the car runs great, no smoke, idles fine, just that horrible sound that sounds like a duck screaming. I have a bad feeling its a blown turbo because i checked the forums and people who have posted about bad bov gaskets say the sound is more of a "squirell getting his nuts crushed" sound lol! This is just a horrible whine =(
Thanks guys,
Jared
