dude,
you need an aftermarket boost gauge and a scan tool...when it starts knocking on the scan tool, turn down the boost (until no more knock) and you'll be better off in the long run...race fuel should help you nail down the problem...try to sneak up on the boost with the scantool instead of just flooring it and knocking the hell out of it...it wont take too much of that to kill it...search for datamaster....good luck...

The fluttering noise you hear when you let off the gas is the built up pressure that the turbo is creating being forced back through the turbo, over the turbine wheel. Potentially, this could cause serious damage. Since our trucks are automatics, the 100%-0% boost occasions are limited, and they were not equipped with a blow-off valve from the factory. So, I guess the answer to your question is: yes, the flutter noise is normal, but not particularly good for the turbo.
