It's called BOOST
Check your Hoses between the Y-pipe and the upper tube and the IC hoses. The most COMMON conector to fail is the one right above the Y-pipe. You can't even hardly see it unless you remove the tube connected to it. Don't be fooled by it. You almost never see a slit on it unless you take it off and bend it around.

Even a SMALL slit probably wont cause a drop in boost, but it WILL cause a whistle.

Mine also used to whistle at high rpms. Turned out to be a vacuum hose that popped off a check valve.
