Do you have a diesel engine? Otherwise never heard of a turbo R51 assuming it is stock.

I don't have experience with that motor but I have owned a couple turbo charged cars in the past. Can you explain the whining sound? Does it sound like air or a whistle or does it have a metallic or rattling sound?
