Default Rattle from turbo area

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?


VIDEO OF RATTLE:

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 😂😂
