That is called compressor surge. It is extremely detrimental to the turbo and will ultimately cause premature turbo failure. Just to give you and idea of what's going on...the air that normally would be release out of the intercooler pipes by the bov is now no longer able to escape so it backtracks back through the system and causes the blades in the turbo to try and spin the opposite direction. Make more sense now? What type of bov do you have? It needs to be readjusted, whether it uses washers or an adj. screw, something needs to be fixed, quick.

Okay since it is a Greedy, there should be an adjustment screw on the top of it. Also, where is your vacuum line connected to? It should be t-ed off of the throttle body and go down to the little nipple on the top(or side) of the bov.

That kind of surge isnt that bad.. All turbos have it, most BOV cant get all the air out so some will go back throw, but the surging at full thottle and low rpms is bad and can cause damage. Also what line are you using for a vaccum sorce?
