If your car is running, and the exhaust is making the turbo spin, and you don't have a massive boost leak, then you can make boost. If it starts easily then it is probably not a compression issue. But guess what, it would probably take less time to test the compression than it would to make a video of the noise. Have you checked your TPS sensors? Have you checked your idle adjustment? You know, all of the things that people are going to suggest you do, regardless of whether or not you post a video.
