But under acceleration both seem to return towards the top of the scale Under deceleration (or just coasting, no throttle) the both return to zero, or about zero. A…

Just had installed,two Power Enterprise Turbos PE1420 with approx 5000 miles usage from new and asurance from seller that they were in perfect working order when taken off the car .They do seem to work ,although hard to get the real impression as my car is on safety boost,due to /(I don't know)..However ,the drivers side turbo makes a ticking /shuttering/clicking sound..somewhat randomely on idle and accelerating,barely audible;but on backing off,a real chattering sound.............Any ventures?
