High pitched scream

Good day All.

Wondering if anyone out there can help me, I recently had a brand new turbo fitted to my Jackaroo (3.1TD) and after having had it back for two days it has developed a high pitched scream at around 2000rpm. I have had it back to the turbo mechanic and he has searched for air leaks and checked the bearings. I had all the vee belts off it to see if it was a water pump or alternator but it still screamed it's preverbials off. I am at a loss as to what it could be, any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers in advance

Maybe it was the wife still complaining about the cost? LOL

Actually the turbo was only $1400, then add the labour. I nearly fell over as everything else for the car has more didgits than a mobile phone number, and besides that she complains about everything so I am used to that particular scream HEE HEE

It was the exhaust manifold, being an Isuzu it was bound to rattle itself to bits eventually! LOL All fixed now and is much quieter than before.
