rattle

alright guys i have a weird one for ya, i bought and s5 gtu and when i drive it something in the engine bay rattles like a bucket of rocks. it only does it if you are lugging it, like if i am at 3k and i open the throttle to much it it rattles but once i get past like 5k it stops and it pulls hard all the way to redline, so what do you think it might be.

if it's new rebuilt 1500 miles......treat it nice man, dont drive too hard untill u get 3000 or more miles on it. anyhow, check injectors, spark plug/wires....u said it bogs, it might be a tuning issue too, are u running stock ECU?
