New turbos and the wastegate rattle is worse?

This is why I got rid of my '07, these turbos don't have longevity. Good luck OP!

Thanks... I don't care too much. The turbos themselves felt fine before the upgrade, just the rattle. The bad idle rattle is gone now, the new one is about half as loud and only at about 25% throttle between 2-3k. I'll survive.

Ya so I just picked up my car ten min ago and still if I rev to 3500 and let off I hear a tick but I'm over it they are brand new turbos with the same part number as the one the guy posted in the other thread. I'm just glad to have my car back yay!
