Hey ronkeller8, I'm a new user and I have your same exact car. I have had for about 3k miles now, total of 72k, and it was not rattling when I bought it. But now, uopn start up i have an awful loud rattle seemingly coming from near my turbos. As the engine cranks up, its clearly there and as the engine settles to idle, it calms down. Then, if I rev the engine (within 10-15 seconds of start up) you hear the sound get louder with the increased RPMs/exhaust flow. Then after about 20-30 seconds the sound is gone and I can drive it completely normally without any sound. Its only on start up.
It is especially apparent if I start her up in the garage or next to a wall. Open-air start ups the sound is harder to hear.
Did you ever get this problem resolved? or did anyone in here have similar symptoms to mine?

Hope this works to reply directly to Ronkeller8:
