No mods. I'm in the process of getting all the maintenance up to date. Around 132k kilometres. Does drink a bit of oil, have to top it off every 3k kms. Doesn't smoke or leak oil however.

Anyway I could check for myself if it's the turbos?
Check all of the accessories on the belt. If the alternator is ok, then check the power steering pump and a/c compressor. I doubt it's the turbochargers...the whine sounds belt driven.
