It went to dealership tuesday for turbo, clicking cv, and the genetic lnf oil leak. My srvc adv is on top of his **** and said I should have it back 2maro or Monday.

Well...got the car back today and with new turbo installed and the chirping/squeaking noise is still there. Got under the car while it was idling and it definitely sounds like its something in the rear of the engine where the turbo is. The noise goes away when engine is above ~1200 rpm but will chirp/squeak non-stop while car is at idle exactly like it did before. The only thing I can think of is the turbo isn't getting lubed properly somehow. Is there a separate oil pump for the turbo? Lmk what u guys thinks goin on here.

Ok. Got a call from my service advisor today telling me that the noise is coming from the NEW turbo. Another one is on order and should arrive 2maro. The exact same noise that was coming from the original turbo is now coming from the new turbo. This is leading me to believe that it is a lubrication issue. Any thoughts guys?

Got the car back today. No more noises. The original squeak noise was coming from the water pump. The car def needed a new turbo though. It would not hold pressure correctly and took too long to build boost. New turbo does such with ease. The very faint supercharger whine is now gone also. So, just a heads up, for the guys that start to hear a faint supercharger sounding whine from turbo, look into replacement options.
