I'm going to guess at a loose turbo hose. But if you plug it in you'll know for certain, so do that. wink

I have had a loose turbo hose and you can normally hear the leak/whine. It turned out after reading the codes to be the maf sensor, when I removed it you could see a resistor had broken off part of it over time so simple fix.
