sounds like your turbos on the way out bud

as for the idle surge, chances are its your IAC valve

can you stick your head in the engine bay and let us know what area of the engine bay the sound is coming from. it would help to know which area it is coming from to determine what parts or components could be the culprit. i have a few guesses but don't wanna throw out ideas... when i could make a more educated decision with more info.

you can try cleaning it out with throttle body cleaner. but chances are your gonna have to replace it.

ya thats what im talking about. clean it out and see if it helps at all before you order a new one. as for the AC, ive never heard it make any whining noises like that, but i guess it could happen. try and listen to see where the noise is coming from
