Rattle from turbo area
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hey, I have recently been noticing some kind off rattle coming from the turbo. It kind of sounds like an exhaust leak to me but I am not sure because I am not the most experienced mechanic. So can someone please point out some things it might be?

One rattle is the injectors ofcourse, but when the revs drop after reving you can hear it pretty well at the end of the video. It sounds kind off like a raspy exhaust.

If you need a better video just ask ofcourse because I don't know if this perhaps does do any damage to the turbo.

Thank you guys for your time!!

You are missing a manifold to turbo bolt, it's 100% an exhaust leak. I would take everything apart, make sure all the flanges are flat and put everything back together with good quality (inconel) studs and locking nuts.

luckily I addressed the issue as soon as I noticed it. Just take a look at the gasket 😅 thank you for looking at the video and helping but the gasket probably ain't straight no more 😂😂
