MSP Turbo Sounds??

Hi

I have been breaking in my MSP for just over a week and since I am at around 600 miles I went a little harder (4,000 rpm) and got to feel and hear a little more from the turbo. This is my first turbo so I am not 100% on what it should sound like, I was expecting the high-pitched whooshes but there are these "chatter-like" echoes when I change from 2nd-to-3rd and 3rd-to-4th whilst the turbo is sounding (at around 3,500-4000 rpm). I actually notice it when I push down the clutch. Is this a normal turbo sound or am not letting up quickly enough on the gas before pushing in the clutch?

Perhaps it is my (out-of-practice) technique since it is 10 years since I drove a stick (and first time driving a stick with a left-hand drive car since I am from the UK!). When I drive hom from work I will see if it replicates everytime or if I can avoid it by being more meticulous with my shifting.

BTW, the MSP is a wonderful ride and what I thought was good last week got even better now I am opening it up. The acceleration is good but I can see me wanting more hp - but for the bloody warranty.

cheers

A P.S. to my post:

I do not believe the sound I am hearing is the "Clutch Chatter" mentioned in a Mazda TSB and elsewhere on this site because it is more of a sound than feeling anything. Also it occured when I push in the clutch rather than when releasing the clutch. when I first heard it I thought it was a wheel spinning.
