Yeah it's a whining noise
But it only does it when I drive around for a while
The car doesn't heat up, and it only started making this noise when I installed the turbo, I have no oil leaks

hard to say without being there, pop your hood and rev it to see where it's coming from

whining noise sounds like it's coming from the turbo, but once I let the car idle it goes away. I'll drive the car again and the same whining noise comes back. What can it be?
The whining noise comes on everytime I drive it for a while then it goes away when it cools down

It does sound like that, but I don't have a power steering, or A/C

if the whining is from the turbo the wheel could be hitting the housing, happened to me but only at full boost though
