I think I figured it out. It seems that every time this occurred, the little tube that goes from the front of the turbo (I think it operates the wastegate) to the intake tube that goes to the throttle body was popped off. As soon as I zipped tied it down securely my problem went away. Turbo is smoooooooth now.
