Default Help Gen Turbo info

Calling in the experts on this one. Tell a little bit about "turbo lag" and what it might sound like to hear the turbo spool. I know people have said its normal to get hesitation inbeteen shifts (manual) but I also notice just as I'm giving it gas after a shift what may be a spooling sound? is that when it occurs? It happens for 1-2 seconds and goes away instantly. mostly in the 1 or 2nd grear range. I also don't get on the car often but when I do and take the RPM's a little higher I hear a rattling noise??? not sure if this is a normal sound or not. I think with the louder exhuast it magnifies everything under the hood as well. If the engine guru's can chime in that would be great. Thanks...gary
