Knocking Turbo sound
Have anyone ever heard knocking sounds coming from the passenger side turbo pipes during cold start? I started the beast one morning and heard a knocking sound each second coming from passenger side turbo pipes; it sounds like someone hitting the turbo pipes with a stick. The sound goes away after 5 minutes when engine is warm. I started the beast last weekend and the knocking sound minimized a little. I went to the dealership and of course
the sound is gone. The advisor told me to have the car stay for the night and they will check it out in the morning.
Any fix or suggestion would be really helpful guys.

No...its common in high performance engines. tolerances are tight, but the material of the pistons expands as the car warms up and the tolerances when cold are larger. Nothing to worry about.

i have a similar noises from back of the turbo, right behind in the middle of the dash. its kinda ticking noise. but weired thing is when i did cold start its nothing happened. the engine got warm the noises came out. went to dealership the other day, i was told it was something related to the injectors or fuel pump ish, its normal. the car is running pretty good and smooth with enormous power. well i just leave as it is and turn the tune up, lol. anyone has that noises?
