Stock turbos = noise makers!
Please Help!
Here's a problem that I'm very nervous in dealing with. I recently installed my own cool air intake using the stock air box and some upgraded pipes. These pipes consist of of a stainless steel pipes and fittings. It works fine, just as I had hoped, but now I can hear a rattling noise every time my Turbo/s spool. I could hear it before but could not pinpoint the origin of the noise.
How much would it be to get some (turbos) rebuilt?
Is there another solution?
Has anyone else delt with a common scenario?
Is there a link I can look at, that could help me out?
Is it even my Turbo/s at all?

Interesting.. a "rattle" isn't very descriptive. It could be part of your exhaust coming in contact with something else or it could be a bearing in the turbos. Does it accure no matter which turbo spools? if it does I have a feeling its not both turbos having the same problem at the same time.

so you have no clue? you could be running like 6-4-6. Really need to get a boost gauge, so you know what boost your running it helps diagnose problems. I'll leave further advice to someone that has a problem similar or the same problem as you.

When you install aftermarket open intake system, you hear your turbos more. If its rattling, it could be just something as easy as unscrewed clamp or some bolt.
I doubt you would hear your turbos rattle. Considering they spin 100kRPM they would fall apart if they would rattle
Pop your hood, have someone sit in your car and give it some gas - and you look and listen carefully - and try to locate where the sound is coming from.

Can you describe this "rattle" any better? Is it definitely metallic? could it be plastic?

It's almost like the noise happens when the Turbos are slowing down, or just starting up. It's definitly metallic, it's not constant, just in my lower RPM's, but it will happen consistantly (not stopping after the car has warmed up). I had an issue with an exhaust manifold once and there was a loud popping sound coming from the engine. This sounds nothing like that it's faster paced and not as loud. It dosn't sound forced just loose. But again it got noticably louder once I installed chrome pipes for my intake, leading me to believe it was my turbos. I've checked all my pipes and nothing's loose. I had determined it to be something internal.

Whe I installed the DownPipe I forgot to tighten back the ABS heat shield and made wierd sonds almost as you described, so check everything around that area, something may be loose and cause scary sounds, like someone said erlier turbos cannot rattle like that,,,
my o2, hope that helps.

As far as exhaust everybody has they're own taste for it, it's all what you want from you car, do you want a loud, medium or pretty quiet one, it's a pretty wide veriaty of exhausts.
First thing you should do is the DP and than go with the rest, don't forget the boost gauge is your #1 part on your list.

On my last thread I was given a pounding for wanting to put on a mid pipe, what will the down pipe do for me that the mid pipe can't? Or why is it a better idea to use a down pipe and hold off on the mid pipe? what boost related problems can I expect? Shouldn't this be a new thread?

I used to have that rattle before on my dsm, it was the way I ran the piping on the cold air intake through to the front, check to see any metal against metal, when my rpms fell to exactly 2700 it attled, something about the specific vibration the engine made, try finding that rpm spot and holding it there, if it sounds, just check for any metal on metal.
