[2012 Clubman] Turbo Whistle Issue?

Hello All,

I have my sister's 2012 Clubman back in the garage with another issue. Occasionally when she drives and the turbo kicks on, it sounds like it is whistling super loud and then it stops the next time she shifts. It seems to intermittently do it - on one gear maybe, on the next not so much.

She is getting boost but when it is in high gear, it's not getting enough boost to properly overtake another car (highway driving). I need to test it more to see if when this happens that the whistle noise is also present.

Question: What are some possible causes for this? When I pull the OBDII codes, nothing is present.

I'm thinking maybe its the serpentine belt? Could be the intake manifold?

I don't think it's the impeller because it's still providing boost to the intake (clearly she's getting boost).

I greatly appreciate everyone's inputs!
