I am starting to hear rattles at 2500-3000rpm.

A valid observation ?

EDIT: Car has done 191,000km.

check the clip that holds the waste gate actuator to the flap on the hotside. these are known to come loose and rattle around

Yeah, probably more the waste gate then the turbo itself

Excellent.

Don't know much about engines, so can some one post a picture about where I should look for this "waste gate actuator". That will be a great help.

instead of a C clip the vr4's td03's have a R clip. much like a split pin., but in the same location as in the picture taylor put up
