The chirp you're talking about is engine realted??? If it is, then what youre experiencing is compressor surge. Does it happen between 1800 and 2200 rpms? You can change the compressor wheel or the compressor housing.

It will make the chirp noise and the boost gauge will dance up and down a little bit.

Ok thats surge. You can either replace the comp wheel with a wicked wheel or replace the comp housing with a ported housing from ATS. Doing the wheel is the cheapest around $90 and the housing will be around 450-500.
