Lots of possibilities.
Fuel seems the most likely problem.
I have seen everything from lack of gas tank venting, to leaky fuel injector.
Installing a fuel gauge will tell if there is a leaky injector, because pressure
will drop too fast when you shut down.
Unscrewing the gas cap will show a lack of venting if you hear rapid sucking
sound.
Other possibilities include overheating or vapor lock.
When the "check engine" light goes on, that should be stored and be possible to
read back with and inexpensive tool.
The whistle noise seems normal from the turbochargers.
