Hello, today I was driving on the highway with around 2.7k-3k rpm with my freelander 1 td automatic diesel and all of a sudden the turbo whistle went away which comes whenever i accelerate.

Is it normal in the first place for turbos to whistle under acceleration/load? I searched a bit and got some mixed results but mostly saying that it might be a leak or something. Also a mechanic who heard the sound of this whistle from my car said it was normal.

After driving around 30-35 min with 3k rpm the whistle went suddenly away and i thought i blew the turbo or engine but I think i might hear it slightly as i accelerated hard afterwards, just a little sound from it maybe.

Anyways my question is if the turbo might be broken now?

Thanks
 
Td4 Freelander 1 turbo kicks in about 1750RPM with a whistle.

If no whistle most likely problem is either a boost hose or the small vacuum hoses that feed the turbo operating vanes.
