Im getting the same leaf rattling noise with my stock turbo, sometimes accompanied with a rattle that drives me nuts. Pulled the intake off for a look and I also have a slight oil residue on the compressor housing. Is that normal?

 

I'm guessing it's the loose connection at the downpipe also. Will only show at the split ends of the v-clamp... if at all.

I had some extra noise and took my v-clamp off...found black smoke inside the clamp and on both faces of the flush facing ends (downpipe & turbine).... but none outside when I first rubbed my hand all around it. Just a hunch?

Might also ck tightness on all Ext WG connections.
