Engine whistle while cold

When I first start my truck and takeoff, I hear a whistle coming from the passenger side of the engine and it is sluggish. I have taken the turbo off and checked it and it seems tight. Once the engine is warm, it goes away. Anyone have any ideas.

Exhaust Back Pressure Valve doing its job to help the engine warm up. Perfectly normal.
