Have you tried doing pulley mods or anything requiring engine to be moved?

The whistle came before or after the axles? You may have bumped a boot on the IC. If not that then a pulley check is in order.

Yeah it occurred after the axle swap I'm thinking one of the vacuum lines into the intake...

That too. They're fairly brittle.

OP, did you happen to figure this out? I ripped the Boot on my CV shaft when it popped out of place during my Coilover install.. I made a few other changes on the car along the way, but I'm getting the same symptoms.. No AC on my either. Very strange...
