Without knowing the noise i'll give you a couple of scenarios:

A/ If the turbo was you received was not clocked correctly theres a good chance the either the exhaust inlet is not tight or the intake pipe in not aligned prperly causing a leak.

B/ If the turbo is a bush baring have they drilled out the oil feel banjo from the block?

C/ Did they run a flush through the engine first as these cars if not serviced properly can have bad oil feed problems? I gather you did put new oil in?

D/ The turbo has not been built properly so the wheels are rubbing against the housing.

If the waste gate is not working properly it wont make a noise......it will however either generate boost at WOT towards the end of the rev limit or will develop to much boost.

P.S. Regardless......all of the above means the turbo will have to come back off.

Free spinning turbo. Just as I turn off the car I can still hear the fan of the turbo spinning

Loud clunk noise when coming off boost....

If you can hear the turbo spinning after it's shut down; that's a good thing. Well balanced, good cartridge.

As for the clunk; not so sure. Wastegate snapping shut, bov opening?

Really I thought the free spin ment the berrings were gone...

I have a lot to learn

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
