    I'd fill the power steering fluid. Sounds low.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    It's not when I'm turning though... That's the thing. My uncle's Impala had low steering fluid and I could actually hear it when he was turning whining really bad. I have to get my oil changed here soon so hopefully they can check it all out.

    Any more help would be great.

    Thanks again,

    Garrett

    I agree with Bill, check that first... it's only like a 2 minute check and if that is the problem you're saving a lot of grief right off the bat... low hanging fruit first, man!

    My 08 GP would whine like a ***** under acceleration, and Im NA. Sometimes it would get so loud you couldnt hear the rest of the engine over the whine.

    I checked the ps fluid eventually and it wasnt even showing on the dipstick, very low... topped it off and the whine is still a tiny bit audible but nowhere near the volume it used to be. I think I just need to renew the fluid all together, it might be contaminated.

    Turning or not, if the engine is on, the PS pump is pumping. Eliminate the obvious that way you don't take it to someone and they "claim" that it was low and they topped it off for you when they did no such thing and charge you for it.

    I get engine whine as well sometimes, does the supercharger have fluid and does it need to be changed every once in awhile.

    The supercharger rocks but I really don't have a clue on how it works.

    I was doing 120 in the kentucky hills on the way to mammouth cave and it just pulls the car up the hills, saw other cars gasping for air.

    It was great
