    for some reason..recently when i hit full boost in low revs..example:full boost at around 20lbs at 3k in 4th,5th,or 6th gear..i get a hard to describe sound..kinda like something grinding or rubbing under the hood..it does it while its spooling..once i hit around 16 to 20 lbs or so it stops....im not much of a mechanic but i'd say something is wrong with my turbo..it doesnt do it every time and i dont hear any noise at all if im running high revs..any ideas?

    sure it is not a fluttering sound? Mine would do that around the ranges you describe and then fall off at the end

    Other than the description of the sound, I would agree that it sounds like wastegate flutter, but it would be a flutter, not a grinding...

    I have noticed the fluttering sound in my car. Is this an issue that needs to be corrected, or is it normal? What can be done to fix it?

    fluttering is normal...grinding is an issue
