I have a high pitch whistle noise coming from the engine when I floor the car but only when I floor it and only for a second. If I drive it normally there is no sound at all. Had a quick luck under the bonnet but can’t see anything obvious. Any ideas?

The big black pipe on the front of the engine,
orange seal at the front of the turbo ,
or the green seal on the silver pipe to the right of the turbo ?
 
Thanks W1ghty it was the rubber gasket that attaches the batwing to the air box. The rubber has split under the big jubilee clip thing and there was a small gap. I’ve tried to glue it back together and then pushed the gasket further over the air box. Fingers crossed it’ll last for a bit.
