It's just Vtec kicking in, don't worry about it.

Take a video, because "Oh a weird noise" is really vague.
 
no it sounds like the engine is about to explode it almost kinda does remind me of vtec just not as deep
 
no my turbo is fine i would post up a vid but its currently getting a new water pump and there is no power loss and turbo sounds perfectly fine just seems like a different sound when i get the water pump all put in ill take a video and post it up. thanks for all the suggestions guys
