It is hard to tell, but it sounds like your bearings are chewing themselves up.
If I heard it in person I would be able to tell right away, but I am listening on little PC speakers, so I cant really hear the the true tone, but it sounds grating but not scratching. Scratching is the impellers against the housings, grating is force being put on the bearings and them scraping the surface they are riding on.

yay. so basically i need a new turbo. its just weird that it would all start suddenly like that. i mean my car was fine, it sat for 5 days, and now my turbo is fucked up. what gives lol
