Anyone help me diagnose a noise

For the past few weeks I've been having a squeaking noise coming from my engine bay. It occurs while I'm driving and when I close any of the doors when I'm parked. At first I thought it was my belts, but if I unlatch the hood, the squeak goes away. Only modification that might be creating it is my TurboXS TMIC, but it didn't start until a few weeks after it was installed.

Anyone have any problems like this?

grease the hood hinges? do they squeak if you push down on the hood when its closed? maybe the rubber gasket is rubbing on the TMIC and squeaking?

I agree that something has to be rubbing and the squeak is kind of like that high pitched squeak when you rub 2 plastic things together.

Oh, and my splitter is off if that makes any difference because the TurboXS TMIC didn't fit with it on.
