Default Lexus IS 200t ENGINE NOISE

I brought my vehicle in for 5K mile maintenance on Wednesday(8/30/17). Once I drove the car off the lot, it's been struggling to build boost as the needle fluctuates while climbing through the 2K-4K RPMS when you hit about 7.5 psi or over. It's like if the turbo is no longer there. There is also an engine noise associated with this as well.

If the boost is fluctuating then it's the Vacuum Regulator which controls the wastegate. Take it back to the dealer and have them change it under your warranty.

Since they just did the service, I would recheck the oil level...just to be on the safe side.
