I have the same problem. I took it in for service and the tech thought it was the exhaust side of the turbo. So they pulled it and found some bolts loose which connected the turbin to the compressor, guess what? it still made the same noise. Sounds like a water pump going out then goes away after rpms pick up. The tech's boss then sugested they pull the inspection cover of the flywheel and they found metal shaving and a loose fly wheel. They tell me now they think the flywheel may be broke. I am getting charged aprx 300 bucks for the turbo bolts that they installed. They plan on pulling the trans Monday the 17th. Should I be paying for them to crawl around and trouble shoot by makeing repaires that are not the problem?
