Best thing to do is give your boots a once over and verify they are all tight and inspect for soot around the up pipes. Let us know what you find.
Thanks. I was worried about that also. I had previously watched a couple youtube videos of alleged turbo surge, but that isn't exactly the noise I am hearing either.

I will be working on the truck today checking all the intercooler boots, and the the up pipes with an inspection mirror.
