The chances are that you have a broken Up-Pipe (the pipe that feeds the turbo with exhaust gas)

They have a flexible joint in them which is a weak point and it has a habbit of breaking.

I've checked but i can't really pinpoint it unless i get it onto a ramp, it does sound like its coming from near the manifold though.
