My car sounded absolute death earlier, people could hear it from across the car park! It quietened down after it warmed up though. I think it was the timing chain.
I got home, checked the engine for sounds and after giving the throttle a little blip i could hear some metallic rattle coming from the turbo area. Reading online i'm just wondering whether it's the wastegate?
Do you think problems with the wastegate could also explain why my stock exhaust is popping on overrun? And why the exhaust splutters randomly when idling?
As for the turbo, it does take 2 or so seconds to kick in but i think the power is there.
Engine sound when giving revs (Notice the metallic ticking noise, also at 6 seconds, 16 seconds and 21 seconds it made that high pitched squeal for a second. It also does this often)
Engine bay when idling, how does the timing chain sound?:
