Check the air cleaner assembly. It could be as simple as a leaf caught up in the intake, it has happened before. Also check rubber hoses to the intake manifold for cracks or loose clamps.

What is it with the hose's on thouse things. mine came off on both ends, and was a pain in the behind to put back on.

I have a 2001 Beetle...not a turbo, but when I start it my car it will sometimes sound like the belts are being ripped at.... (Kinda like when you use a scissor to make ribbon on a present curl up...but much much louder.) Maybe you call that sound a "whistle?" I brought the car to the dealership and they said it's nothing to worry about. It only happens every once in a while though, I'm not too concerned. Hasn't been a problem aside from the embarassment I get when people look at me funny.

Mine does it too...bout 1-2 second sound. Prolly starter gear.
