I’ve had a whine noise also ever since I had the turbo installed (8 months ago) however its not as loud. The shop that did the installation stated it was normal to hear that whine out of the small greddy turbo..
What does your boost gauge say while you are at idle?

Also, I was thinking about it, and are you sure that there isn't a piece of trash caught in the inlet side of your turbo? Sounds like its rubbing against something.

update! i lifted the car up and started inspecting and happened to try to remove the vacuum line from the wastegate to the outlet pipe of the turbo and low and behold very loose at the flange, the two bolts at the flange i was able to loosen by hand, im going to wait till the car cools down and try it again, hope this does the trick

update...just came back from a test drive and its fixed! looks like that loose outlet pipe was the culprit...def..feels like a turbo car now...thanks to you all that have helped me on this board...and the local guys that lent a hand wrenching and with tech info and big thanks to sammie at jrx rotary for tollerating my tons of phone calls couldnt have done it without you!

I can't help myself... Rather see the MM/BHR Turbo kit or used greddy turbo kit with MM turbo upgrade kit than screw around with the greddy turbo kit by itself.
Still, "mo power is mo power", greddy or otherwise.
