When the turbo starts to whine excessively it's usually because the bearings inside of the turbo have seized up. Causing it to whistle. Thats what happened with our van :)
Update: turbo was definitely on its way out. Replaced it with a k04 and I took off the housing for the k03 and there was very minor damage on the compressor wheel. Something probably got in there.
yessir that sound is the beggining of the end
