Default Problem with S4...Maybe

aight maybe im just being paranoid but it seems at though i get a grinding noise on start up for about 3 seconds then it goes away, but then i notice maybe some lifter noise from the driver side of the block...anyone else experienceing this its like a ticking...loud enough so i can hear it with my window down. Also the car seems to hesitate while "cruising" at any speed it like looses power then gains it back i can feel myself swaying back and forth. One last thing it doesnt seem to have the power it did when i first got it a week ago...it degenerated very quickly the turbos still spool i can hear them, when i get on it then off it after a second i can hear them spool down quite auidbly...is that normal( never owned a turbo vehicle) Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks!

If you are noticing power loss, hesitation... etcetc... sounds like you should take it in...

I can’t image it costing more than 150 bucks to clear your conscious and let you know if your just being paranoid or if it is really a problem.

My guess is a boost leak. Check stored codes, then look over all the boost connections, TBB & DV's.
