Power pulsing turbo noise

[1998trailblazingfool]

Recently bought a 2015 Ford Explorer Sport 73000 miles on it and when accelerating at 60 it will pulse the RPMs will trickle back and forth at 5000 5500.
At lower speeds I can hear the turbo whistling and not whistling whistling not whistling as an accelerating you know if this is a wastegate problem or a fuel problem. Or purging when you're just accelerating. At slower doesn't seem to do it as much but when you stomp on it you can feel it pulsing I would call it

Welcome to the Forum.
Have you checked to see if all the turbo hoses are tight?

No I haven't. I just purchased it from dealer with some warranty. What should they check for when I bring it in?

If you're bringing it in, just have them check "pulsing noise" just have them verify that the turbo hose connections are tight. On the early Sport models, mainly 2013 and '14 there were issues with the hoses coming loose. That resulted in a loss of power, not exactly what you are experiencing though.

Sport Turbo Hose Issues

Hi all, first post I just would like to be informative. Ex lost acceleration on monday afternoon while coming on to highway heard loud vacuum sound in cabin while Ex merged on to roadway slowly and eventually got up to 50mph. Tried flooring it several times with same results even at highway...
