OBS Turbo noise?

i have a 97 powerstroke, 180k chipped, straight pipe. afe big boost filter,
i have the ebpv unplugged & yes its unplugged when the valve is open, (makes the noise whether plugged in or not) when i drive theres a screetch noise that comes from under the hood, i cant pin point the location but sounds around the turbo area, iv took the intake off & wiggled the shaft it is solid, doesent look like the wheel is rubbing the housing (EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE) i watched a video of a 99 "surging" & that is exactly what it sounds like, but i dident thing stock obs really had problem with it? the noise does NOT get louder when you accelerate, it actually makes it go away. thank you guys!

My EBPV will close on its own. Some others have had it happen to them also

I took a coat hanger and wired it open since my pedestal don't leak yet

Wire EBPV open, if no more screech then you got it

remove fan from WP and go for a ride to see if noise is gone
