Default 07 sti with turbo xs fmic need help :( PLEASE

Ok i installed a txs fmic and their short ram intake and it seems to run fine. The only problem is that there is like a whine coming from the engine bay but it only does it when i get up to like 8-10 psi it doesnt sound like the intake its more of a high pitch. It doesnt some to be losing boost or loosing any power. Please help guys this noise is driving me nuts

Everything tightened down? Might just be you being able to hear the turbo more.

pressure test the intercooler system after the turbo.

look it up. My guess is a boost leak.

The short Ram is letting you hear the turbo spooling more.
