    Question Think my Turbos are going

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

    A valid observation ?

    EDIT: Car has done 191,000km.
    We work to live, and to live is to drive a VR-4, around corners at speed. But it costs see here

    check the clip that holds the waste gate actuator to the flap on the hotside. these are known to come loose and rattle around
    Less a Driver of a VR4, more an owner of a pile of parts...

    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.
