either - airleak, so it's over spinning, or turbo is getting tired and out of balance.

pull the intake pipe off , check for a grooves where the impellor is running against the housing on the inside
push the impellor and move it side to side.if im not mistaken , max movement should be 0.4mm
does it move more than this?

then its knackered!!!
