when the car is cold and i first leave for school....
when my rpms go from 3,100-3,200... i hear a whining noise. its only for that extrememly short time, and it happens in first, second, and third (thats the highest gear i get to before i downshift again at the stoplight) from then on it doesnt do it anymore.... any ideas?
only when engine is cold, faint whining noise, around 3k rpms

Sounds like the turbo...
Have the oil supply lines feeding the turbo been updated? I believe they were recalled on 97 and some 98 1.8T's. The issue with them was something about insufficient heat shielding causing oil to coke up in the oil supply lines, leading to oil starvation issues in the turbo.
