Funny bloop like sound when on full throttle

Guys anyone know why im getting a funny bloop like sound from what I think is the turbo when on full acceleration after gear change??
Also slight lag after gear change.

You still getting this, Big D?
I noticed the same on mine after remap if I accelerate hard, I think it's a pressure release valve (or a leak) on the output side of the turbo. This is what causes the lag too, fuel being delivered, but not matched with the sudden lack of air pressure...

Still getting this.

Mechanic thought it could be a slip of a belt on a pulley so had the belt changed but still the same. More frequent after a long motorway run.

It's an odd one for sure, I though mine had gone, but if I clog it, then it does still happen from time to time. Done around 20k miles since it started (just after remap, so may just be related to turbo pressure), but it hasn't got any worse, so not going to fret over it... for now!
