Hi. Just got myself a slightly-used pre-owned 2010 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. I've been hearing a whistling sound whenever I accelerate abruptly or when I go beyond 40kph+. Would this have anything to do with the intercooler turbo? Thanks.

I don't know if this is the right place.
But I have a 98 Pajero 4m40. It starts and idles nicely, but upon acceleration, engine sounds terrible, almost like a non turbo L200 engine, even with the intercooler connected and turbo whistling. Please help.
I have the same whistle sound, too.. since last year... just after warranty period. I've notice it comes from the clutch of the compressor that helps the engine until 3000 rpm when the turbo goes into the action. to replicate the sound, check left side of the engine, put someone to push the clutch pedal and then press on the accelerator. Check with VW if there is a solution, although I think you will run thousands of miles and no damage because of that.
That sounds like an air movement problem and not a mechanical problem. Check for something plastic or rubber hanging loose below the front end of the car. If a flap has the connecting push pin missing leaving the connecting hole open it can make this sound. Also check the firewall for missing rubber plugs. If you live in an area where there are lots of deer you might want to leave it alone as the high pitched whine keeps them away from the roadway.:)
I have a 98 Montero Sport, whenever my belt sqeaks I check the tension and usually thats the problem. Tighten them accordingly and it should solve it. As for the timing belt, mine is a belt not chain. First time I had it changed was at 100,000 miles and the dealrship said I was cutting it close ><
