51K miles, everest chip, completely stock otherwise, running perfectly fine.
When starting up cold, i'm getting a rattling noise from i think the turbo. I thought originally it was the engine tappets / lifters a bit noisy, but seems the rattle is coming from center of engine down low near turbo. When i rev the engine, or hold accelerator at higher than idle revs, the rattle disappears.
shield is secure.
any other ideas??

Are you really sure that all the shields are secure?

Are you sure its a rattle and not a ticking noise ?
Could be an exhaust gasket leaking ?
