The car accelerates noticeably better and will spin the tires faster in first gear also in the higher gears i dont have to press the accelerator as hard to get it going

Does it whine when you start to hit full boost, or will it do it at idle. If it only whines while under full boost its a boost leak close to the compressor housing.
