Anyone ever have this problem before?

Hey guys, I'm starting to notice a loud rattle coming from the turbo while in accessory. I got a video of it and I'm hoping you guys can help me narrow down the issue.

The video is attached below, if you've had this issue and know the fix let me know!

Sounds like the wastegate.

That's a lot of back and forth movement on the actuator arm.

Before getting a new turbo I suggest getting a new actuator. My wastegate rattles (not like that) and I don't have movement like that on the arm.

I bought mine from FCP but it looks like their price has shot up four times

maybe. when I had the car on the lift and was installing the downpipe, I could play with it slightly and it made a noise. once started its there initially, but it disappeared afterward too.

as stated above, the actuator arm isnt supposed to move like that at all. can provide a video if you would like. get that actuator replaced asap

Yeah if you could! I'd really appreciate that, I played around with the rod that connects from the actuator to the wastegate. There's no movement what's so ever. That's what makes me think it's actually the actuator
