Check your power steering fluid first, and see if it gets louder when you turn it ALL THE WAY!!!

If thats not it, check your turbo.

Wife's 95 240sx did it too, its the power steering pump. I just replaced it with a lifetime warranty one from advance. Did you use the R32's PS pump or the 240's? Leaking anywhere? Lines on tight? Hoses tend to crack too. Are bubbles coming up in the ps res? If its the PS then its fine to drive on it if you intend to replace it. Just not for too long or something from the pump may end up in the rack.

Also turbos DO NOT make that sound...
