Can anyone tell me what this noise is?

here's the vid

http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fusea...deoid=18397625

I decided to take off the mid pipe and see if there was anything that had been caught up inside the exhaust and wouldn't budge through the cat. I also made sure that there wasn't anything like a heat shield of something of that nature rattling against the exhuast. What did I find out. . .nothing. The last thing I want to think about is one of the turbos might be failing. So if you guys could decern what this noise might be it would be greatly appreciated.

It doesn't sound good. Definitely sounds like something related to the turbos. Do you have a boost gauge?

EDIT: Since it appears you have separate air filters, you should pull off the primary turbo tubing and at least have a look there. I don't want to sound an alarm, but the sound is very similar to the time I had a turbo self-destruct on a bike.

Just a WAG, but I had an air pump go bad and it sounded a little like that at first.

Pull the turbo inlet pipes and check the turbos for losseness and too much play.

Cewrx7r1, that was our next guess me and my buddy steve are ging to try it, I also sent this video to Chris down at Rotary Performance in Garland, Texas. So I'm waiting on his reply but during the wait I'll just try this and see what happens...Do you ever get that feeling, you know the gut feeling like something bad is about to happen and you don't think you can fix the situation in time? yeah I got one of those lol.
