Default New turbo set up. Whining?

ok i have a 1990 crx si with a b16a swap in it. I just got done with the rev hard turbo kit install. couple questions. Am i supposed to feel a tiny bit of exhaust comming out of the wategate with no throttle? i didnt drive it yet but i was under the hood inspecting things and i pulled on the throttle a little bit and im getting this whine from the turbo. i know its getting oil. what could that be from?

a whining noise? Do you mean the turbo spooling down? The wastegate should be completely closed? I dont have any exhaust coming out of mine at idle.

Any air leaks at all before the turbo? My intake was very loose and made the turbo super loud
