That's cute. I'm excited for the day that happens.

I can say I don't hear this slight rattle when RPM comes down and it is very, very subtle. Only on start-up and moderate acceleration and very sporadic (not every time). Sounds more like the turbos just being a little noisy. Hope it's not a precursor to a turbo issue.

I'm going to open up the hood and take a look see when I start the car later. Maybe I can pinpoint the location.
