I had the turbo replaced in my 1.8T. It is making a whinning noise when it kicks in. Is this normal and will it settle with time?

Turbos whistle and whir. You may have just been used to not hearing it if it was froze up before (I am assuming that is why it was replaced). Turbos do make noise...it is hard to say without actually hearing it.

Turbos do sound different depending on their size, boost and sometimes due to different manufacturers. Follow up with your mechanic and take a test drive in a similar car and compare.

Mine is the same. That lovely whistle as the turbo kicks in. I even turn the music down just to hear it working away.
