Turbo Clattering

Is there a flapper valve or something in the turbo system that could make a chattering sound? here's the problem. When I step on the gas, I hear the trubo spooling up, as the boost increases something starts making a clackety clack sound and there is a hesitation, kind of like missing in acceleration. If I let off the gas and drop the boost the sound disapears.
