What engine? Original turbo aftermarket? Any sort of boost controller? Any thing else changed like injectors or air filter setup etc?

It doesnt sound like you have any mechanical issues. The brass knob might be a boost controller and it may just be as simple as an adjustment. Hopefully some of the 3L guys will be along shortly.

Check to see the intercooler pipes are tight as it does make a whistle noise when pipes not on pipes are loose
