Wastegate rattle?

Need one of these do you think? https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-volkswagen-audi-parts/wastegate-actuator-rod-rattle-clip/06j145220a/

More common on the MK6, but not unheard of on MK5s also.  Wiggle the actuator rod and if it's loose and wobbly, that clip should sort the noise.

That won't fit the mk5 turbo.

I had this issue for about 6 months. I then had an updated Revo map put on and it fixed it. Weird.

Did it do it with both a hot and cold engine Rich, or just when cold?

I don't know if what I'm experiencing is wastegate rattle (although it's the closest match I can attribute to the symptoms) or something else, possibly related to my misfire issue.

Can't remember. Was 2/3 years ago. It was annoying as hell though

How would you describe the sound?

I expect as a fellow musician you'll be able to describe it incredibly accurately
