usually turbos will only make a noise under boost... need to explain the noise a bit better... something loose?

I had an intermitant noise in my prado, turned out to be the fuel return thingee on the fuel pump, replaced and noise went away. Now every now and again I hear a vibration noise caused by the new return valve/spring thingee and the return line vibrates near the fuel tank. Only hear it when the seat is folded forward though.
