Default Loud whining sound between speeds of 55 and 65 2001 1.8Tqms...

I just purchased a 2001.5 1.8t Quattro, sports package w/ 17's. I have a loud whining sound between 55 and 65 mph comming from the front. Has anyone expierenced this? P6000's @/32 psi. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Default I would also guess its your turbo, because I have the same car.

I would also guess its your turbo, because I have the same car. My car has Sumitomo tires, but the only whining I have at that speed is the turbo. Its not loud, but noticable.
