Alright people,when I've got my engine warm there is an awful sound that comes from the turbo area?it sounds like someone shaking a bag of spanners or shaking a couple of small ball bearings in open tin can.
Only does it if I blip the throttle and not on idle,so if I blip it it rattles as the Rpms drop.
Sounds to much to be heat shields.could turbo be on way out?
Cheers.might try and get video up.

Is the heat shield on the turbo solid?

What model and does it have a cat in the up pipe? As above check heat shields for play or a friend of mine had a very similar noise, it was the cat breaking down in the up pipe.

How long do rattley cats last?

No idea, but if its moving about its going to crack and break up... then its a direct route to the turbo...
