i'm thinking a charge pipe came loose also.

i wish i could describe it better. It just sounds like my turbo is straining. Like a charge pipe is clogged or somthing, but it is coming out of my exhaust so i guess it would be coming from the compressor side. Last night i got the oil to the correct level Checked all charge pipes and intercooler for obstructions and secured them all back on. I took the car in a near by parking lot to try and get it to boost i hit boost and no sounds either. So i went back to put on my front end and took it out and there was no boost and that damn sound came back.

There is no shaft play either. tomorrow i will take off the exahust and go from there.

Had a similar problem a few weeks ago, the only diff was that I knew it was an oil problem. Long story, but no oil was going to the turbo and after a awhile the thingstops spooling. Ran out an fixed the oil problem but the turbo was FUBAR, so i had to get another one. Greddy TD04h-15G, costs me alot of money for that POS.

is there a rattling sound that comes and goes, especially when you hit the gas?

Stay off the car while you get it fixed, my setup had an internal wastegate that you could easily set to open the wastegate all the time and not spool the turbo. If you can open your wastegate, then you should do so, and if you can open the wategate don;t forget to unplug the intake form the turbo.

Right now my burnt turbo is still on the car (waste gate is open though), I have fresh turbo in hand and will install it tommorow. Without boost my car feels like a POS, no passing power and I avoid eye contact with cavalier drivers because I do not have enough.
