It goes away when the engins warm.. Im guessing when the engine is warm the oil has luubed evrything and the sounds gone.. I cant think of anything else that may cause this noise apart from the turbo not gettin any oil in the morning..Is this normal and im making a big deal about it? The rubber grommit in the firewall has almost dissapeared with amp wiring and boost hoses goin through it, thus increasing engine to cabin noise, so maybe I just 'hear' it better than mostMaybe a blockage and the oil doesnt reach the turbo as quick, untill its hot and thinner?Just throwing some ideas around, and appreciate any thoughts..The car still goes as hard, despite my bloddy actuator...

I cant pinpoint when the problem started as to know if the noise was before or after the dekkas went in... hmm, but by your sig im guessing you have standard injectors and you also get the noise??I hop etm is right...BTW the car was serviced by a site sponsor, so they should know what needs to be done... so I dont know..Anyother ideas??
