This could well be the up pipe from the exhaust manifold to the turbo, they make a dreadful racket when the flexi joint in the middle breaks or weakens and the heatshields come loose. S'worth a look.

Yeah, but I'm talking about the UP pipe which is the pipe UP from the exhaust manifold TO the turbo not the downpipe. It's possible that you have disturbed the heatshields and so on.
