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?

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.
omg how stupid am I for not noticing that. it is in plain sight! Anyway thanks a lot, I will look at it and put everytging back together with inconel studs!!
