"when i hit 6.5k the turbo sounds like it is going to explode and believe me it does not sound good..." sound like you have too much play in the turbo, time for a rebuild :( take it to the dealership as soon as you can because if it is the turbo shaft, having too much play, then you could break one of the fines and have it go through the motor, that wount be good. If i were you i wouldnt gun it or take it to high RPM's till you get it checked. Good luck i hope they fix your problem. As for the rpm thing it could be something to do with your ecu which could have also caused the turbo to go by allowing it to run over its limits.
