Message I just bought a '91 Aztec Red twin turbo 300zx yesterday. It came as a replacement for my 93 Mazda RX-7. The car has 34000 miles on it and is for the most part bone stock. It has a cat-back exhaust but that is it as far as aftermarket stuff goes. Anyway my question is the car boost fine and pulls very strongly. However when the car is above about 5k rpms and under full throttle it makes a loud whistling sound and holds it till redline. I dont think it is turbo death whine but I could be wrong. Reason I do not think it is turbo whine is b/c i can have the car at full boost below 5k rpms and there is no sound at all. A friend of mine suggested that it may be a bad wheel bearing however I am not sure how that would be possible as the sound is more rpm related and not speed related. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
