Default Turbo fail? High pitch whirrring after Sears Point HPDE

Does anyone know what this symptom might be?
ran 4 - 20 min sessions at Sears Point (Infineon raceway) Sunday. Now a high pitch turbine whir above 3000-3500 rpm. Oh yeah mixed in a little 96 Octane with 91.
Year 2000 S4, stock turbos, has STaSIS/GIAC stage-I engine mod.

Default sounds like a turbo. Put a long screwdriver on it while someone rev's it

for you. It's will sound loudest at the source of the noise. If it's whirring - it's toast.
