Try checking the wastegate and bov, maybe something loose.

Arthritis FTL. :(


IDK, possible carbon breaking loose, hitting the turbine? If it was the turbine wheel hitting something else, you prolly would have heard worse noises shortly thereafter. Not to mention a drastic loss of performance.

I'm not going to tell you not to worry, since it has gone away, because if it was my car/time/$, I would be a little bugged about it too.

Not saying there was anything done wrong, just those little gremlins that thrive on screwing with you.

Edit: After reading your other thread about running rich, it may have built up some carbon on the exhaust side of things. ?
