Hi. Got a 2003 75 1.8T which has developed a noise when accelerating. I'm pretty light-footed, and the noise (a sort of low squeal) only happens when I use more throttle than normal, at any revs, but not when I'm cruising at a constant speed. Note that it doesn't do it at all when when the car is stationary and the engine is revved (i.e. not under load).

Wondering if maybe it's a fault with the turbo, which presumably only really kicks in when you open up the taps. Grateful for any ideas guys! Thanks.
