It would probably be cleaner for you to start a new thread. It's kind of hard to diagnose a "whine" without actually being there. I'd starts with checking the least expensive to replace components first: check IC plumbing for boost leak, check BOV for leak, test wastegate actuator movement with a bicycle tire pump.
Otherwise, yes, it could also be the infamous "whine of death" of the turbo.
