Turbo whine

Bumping this necrothread, back from the dead :rofl:.

I've owned the Stinger now for almost a year and have recently noticed the turbos whine. To be honest, it doesn't sound like a typical turbo whistle but, rather, like a supercharger whine. I haven't been able to pinpoint exact conditions but I don't believe it's on cold starts (I tend to let the oil warm before pushing the engine), and in medium applications of accelerator at say 4,000 or so RPM. I've noticed it more pronounced when taking a left-hand corner while accelerating.

For what it's worth, mine is a 2018 GT2 AWD, 10/17 build date.
My turbo is also making this exact sound. My car only has 8,000 miles but it def started to whine like a drill. Faint but noticeable. Did this end up becoming an issue for you?

Did you ever have this remedied?
I’m having this problem now.

Thanks!
