Doubtlessly of little help, but...

My '91 9KT's noise was similar to what you're describing, more like an odd whistling sound. This only occurred on moderate acceleration when the engine was cold whenever the turbo would spool up, but would not happen when hot. Since I usually accelerate lightly when the engine is cold, I rarely heard this noise.
I tried torquing the bolts around the turbo, but this did not help. The noise persisted for several years 'til I sold the car, but never got worse. To this day I still don't know the origin, but at ~155k the car still has its original turbo, according to the present owner.
