Ok well i noticed my car was running a little odd last night and i know i need an oil change.. so i was going to take it somewhere today and have them do that as well as check out the car and such.. but when i started it, i heard some weird noise.. almost like a "flapping/rattling noise" or "slushy/gushing sound" in the belt area (kinda hard to explain sorry)... no belts are broke though, they all look ok... One thing i noticed when i was driving though (when driving night before) is it seemed like the oil pressure was low..(could just be me though, just got the car less than a week ago so i dont know everything about it yet) i dont got an aftermarket oil guage though so i could be wrong.... i was trying to stay out of boost when i was driving home etc... but when i did boost a little it seemed to give some kinda of weird noise and the boost dropped off... but i went WOT and the boost held fine at 16psi... it doesnt seem like its the turbo.. maybe the oil pump? Not sure.. im still new to these cars though i just bought mine about a week ago... any help appreciated.. if you need more details let me know. Thanks for your replies 
there is also sometimes a rough idle when you first start it until it warms up, and studdering dont think its related... and no im not driving the car right now until i figure out whats up.. not taking any chances ;-)
