Default Whistling under boost

Need a big help guys I tried everything just can't find where that loud whistle is coming from all I know is its in the engine bay???? It has got to be somewhere after the rotors (boosted)cos only shows up as soon as I hit boost,I have the old radix on my 2005 sierra I removed it changed all the gaskets and removed lower part and changed the lower gasket whistle is still there... Anyone have this before pls help??? Oh and also changed the injectors O rings just in case it's leaking boost from inside out that's where I thought it might be the problem.. Anyone has any ideas please

I'll try there's just too much noise from other parts to pinpoint where it's coming from everything looks ok it's driving me crazy

I hear it, what is your pcv setup as far as hose routing. That sounds like a vacuum line or TB whistle.
