Sorry, I don't know what a bad turbo sounds like. I know what my good turbo sounds like. It spins and makes a higher pitched sound the faster it spins. If it had a problem and didn't spin smoothly, it would sound funny probably a grinding or clicking noise. If you hear the noise when you're not on the gas, then its not your turbo, because your turbo is not spinning unless your on the gas. Does your boost gauge show boost or vacuum when you hear this noise?
