Turbo Sneeze?

Here is the scenario, I am driving my 03 w/75K trouble free miles up a 5,000 ft summitt and decide to pass an 18 wheeler. I pull out, step on the pedal and suddenly hear a wierd noise accompanied with loss of power, embarassed I let off the gas and get back behind the truck. I took it easy the rest of the way home and have driven 800 mile since with no problems but I still worry about the incdent. I had no way to describe the noise until I read the term trubo sneeze, that is exactly what it sounded like, not a backfire, or a pop, no smoke just a sneeze kind of noise.I trust this forum more than my urban dealer, any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've never heard of a turbo "sneezing". I've heard of it farting and you should be able to find plenty of articals on it here.
