Car turbo-charger question. [View all]

I got a new car with a turbo-charger. (Yeah, I know. But it was the only way to get the full safety package.) Anyways, I never had a car with a turbo. When the car is going up a hill, there is a whine coming from the hood that sound like a small Banshee.

Is this a normal sound with a turbo? The dealer isn't open today.

If I open the hood latch and there is a Banshee in there, am I likely to get bitten?
