Default Wastegate Problem?

After installing my turbo I took her out to she how she was doing. Right as I take her out any time I put load on my motor I here a weird sound. It sounds kinnda like the chugga chugg chugg of a choo choo train but with more of a clack sound.hah its hard to explain, but I figured it was an exhaust leak. So I check my manifold bolts and my downpipe and everything seems to be nice and tight. Its was weird to me that at idle I couldnt here it, but even if I put load in vaccum it will make that sound loud and clear. Could this be a malfunction with my wastegate? Ive tried to narrow things down and this is the only thing I can think of. Im still able to build all 7.5psi but It seems like it may be a bit laggy.
thanks

This is not the first time. Ive ran this exact wastegate on a previous turbo and never heard this noise before. I can hear my bov perfectly also.
