Annoying sound
 
So it doesn't seem to be bothering anything but there is just a high pitch noise that annoys the crap outta me and it usually only happens between 20-45mph. and normally only in the higher rpms(2700-3300). i know it's not my turbo duh. but i'm not quite sure what it is. it sounds like air goin through a tight space maybe. or kinda like when you whistle with a piece of paper(if you know what i'm talkin about). but yeah any ideas about what it is?

My guess is turbo whistle.. it can be deceiving.

Sounds like a turbo whistle to me too. Check everything on the intake and exhaust that you've jacked with. On the exhause side, just look for black soot marks to find the leak.

A known problem with the LB7 is a rub through on the dr boost tube. Check the dr boost tube, down low. It makes contact with the power steering return line and wears a hole in the boost tube. You may need to remove the tube to inspect it, because it wears on the bottom side. I'll try and find a picture for you.
