When I put the foot into it, there is a thrushing sound. Seems like the turbo kicking in? Is this normal. '08 Beetle TDI.

low oil? more specific on the sound? thrush is a disease caused by candida. maybe post a youtube vid and post a link back?

Like a fluttering sound. Like something engages when you put your foot into it. Won't make the noise on a slow easy acceleration.

Could be the turbo but sounds are hard to replicate in this text box without massive alliteration, therefore I suggested the video.
What kind of oil you running? how's the level? Recent change of anything?
