Could be the bearings have worn out; maybe you are hearing the vanes rubbing the turbo chassis

He's got an aftermarket BOV. Made by TAS, whoever that is.

Default Is that the same as the boost diverter valve?

We've been round and round trying to fix that darn rattle. My dealer has replaced the catalytic converter, and a couple of other things including a fly wheel (big job requiring removing transmission). Now he believes it's the boost diverter valve. I should know by tomorrow if this does the trick. The noise started at around 10,000 miles and occurs whenever you let off the accelerator.
