could be a slightly blocked oil feed, not giving quite enough oil or turbo on its way out, take intake side of turbo off and feel for play

yep id be doing that quick smart as the trubo could be about to shat itself. Could also be a pully squealing. or a small boost leak. Ours does that to and after rebuilding turbo found it to be a needle hole in boost gauge hose and the power steering pully on its way out
