Hey guys, not sure if this is the correct place to post so please feel free to move it.

When my engine is cold my turbo will whine like crazy at the slightest hint of boost, but give it 5-10 minutes and it's back to normal. In those first few minutes, it will boost to max 2psi then after that will boost up to the 12psi. But when I'm not on boost the gauge will sit below 0.

The car is stock, other than a FMIC, Coils Packs and Exhaust. (RB25DET NEO, R34 GTT)

Is this a leak? Or is the turbo on its way out?

  I confirmed cylinder is TDC. harmonic balanced is old but rubber looks good. Night before last I took the balancer off and used the crank mark to confirm timing. Plugs are brand new bkr6e at 1.1ish

  Also, have you confirmed the harmonic balancers timing mark is correct? Put it to TDC and then check the cylinder is actually at TDC. The balancer looks old as, and may have started to let go. How old are the plugs in it? What spark plugs are in it, and what gap are they at?

  Make up a wire you can energize the starter solenoid from when in the engine bay. Then energize it with the key in the "On" position, and use your timing light.
