Noisy turbo

Hi,
I've recently bought a 2002 Ibiza 1.9tdi 130 with 50,000 miles, i have started to notice that when the turbo kicks in I don't get the normal turbo whistle (that I would expect from a turbo) but more like a growl. It doesn't seem to effect acceleration or mpg, so was just wondering if this is a normal turbo noise for a 130 or whether the turbo is faulty or has something causing a low resonance noise.

Thanks

Found a thread about turbo vibration and the fix in that appears to have done the trick :D

Sorry, but it won't let me post links at the moment as I don't have enough posts,

If you search for Vibrates, it is the 12th thread down, started by Kevscupra, with the title "Vibrates when the turbo kicks in"

Sorry can't be more help.
