Headgasket blew today. One more weird thing....

Ok, well today, I was going about 70 MPH on the way to SAABs@Carlilse, boosted to about 10 PSI. Heard an audible POP. Yes, it was very audible. I got out thinking it was an intercooler hose, even though the engine did not stall. All hoses were tight. Oil in the coolant. Pretty sure it was the headgasket.
Here's my question...
Before the turbo starts to spool, it drives fine. Let me tell you, a 900T/SPG without a turbo is SLOW. MUCH slower than a 900S. Anyway, as soon as the turbo starts to spool, before even 1PSI, like 3/4 into the white, it makes an audible hum. What is this noise? Traveling home doing 50MPH in 5th gear, I'd come up on some hills, trying not to activate the turbo at all. As soon as I needed a little more gas, there was the noise. Again, it's like a hum or whir.
Can anyone give me some advice?
Thanks!
