It is when boost pressure goes back through the turbo. It is very harmful to the turbo! Broken vanes, sheared shaft, etc. .

turbo building more boost than the engine can use, which causes it to return to the turbo backwards. bad things can happen, not always.

Mine will bark mildly anytime I let off the pedal hard. The 2 g's do it as well, just can hear it so well over the louder motor.



It is something I try to avoid, but have stopped worrying too much about. Mine does it mildly, even when the auto shifts itself in cruise mode.
