Meth and Wastegate Rattle

triggz · 07-07-2011, 12:11 PM

So after reading many threads on wastegate rattle, it has me very confused

50% say it's normal and it won't make you lose performance or have any major issues

50% say your turbos will eventually die and don't add anything to the car untl you get them replaced

I have a meth kit that I haven't installed because of this issue. I will say that my wastegate rattle is much worse this summer compared to last summer (or maybe I just notice it more)

What should I do? Fix the turbos and then install the meth or just install the meth?

I would get them fix, specially if your under warranty.

Use ur warranty if u have one. After fixing it Many people get the rattle back anyways is not 100%. i would try to do M5 rattle Fix and see how that works.

my car is a CPO, so I still have another 2 years of warranty on my 07

Isn't the M5 rattle fix just a temporary solution? Won't the actuators get loose again and rattle?

Don't the new turbos have a better design which fixes this issue with the rattle?
