squeal under hard acceleration

Under hard acceleration, my 3rd generation rx-7 lets out a squeal from what sounds like the turbos, its loud enough to hear easily. Any ideas what this might be? This just started up a couple months ago, I never heard it before and never heard it on my first rx-7, so I don't think its just turbo whine.

I'm hoping its just an easy to replace cracked hose or something, but I'm worried it could be the turbos having trouble.

Thanks

My 86 n/a used to do that. The alternator belt was loose due to a missing bolt. I would say it's one of the belts. Check the tension and tighten all of the loose ones.
