I have a 2004 mountaineer with 71,000 miles. When it's cold it makes a whining sound and when you accelerate it makes a noise like a turbo, a hissing noise. When it warms up it goes away.

Check the transmission fluid level, but it is more likely a wheel bearing failing, although that is normally described as a whine. A garage can put microphones on all 4 wheel arches, next to the transmission and engine and track the noise whilst driving.
losing bost (turbo boost)?????? have turbo here?????????
get the car serviced, you can not fix turbo problems, some are very complex.
gee 21 years old and just 1200 miles per year
just 3 miles per day used, only to church under full turbo boost
LOL (grin) sorry !
that turbo part is called a waste gate, and opens only as max boost is reached, so the engine does not explode. (5psi? = par)
that is what it does and can stick , jam and leak and for sure
full of carbon, driving just 3 miles per day. and nasty job to clean all that out.
so get (er) done, find a shop and tell them your turbo is acting up $$$$$$$$$$
Is this a Turbo model? If so, it sounds like you have a blown Turbo or a leak somewhere in the turbo system. 200 miles is a long way to go with a bad part, and it's pretty risky. I'd get it checked out by a local mechanic before trying to drive that far.
