Default rattle noise coming from engine

whe nthecar warms up. i hear a rattle towards the back and underneath the engine. where the turbo is. the rattle happens when i rev the engine from a dead stop or moving in first, after i go to second i dont hear it. it sounds like two cans rattling together. like theres some metal piece loose.

could it be the turbo? or what could it be?

i would really appreciate the help.

Default Have you looked at the dogbone?

W/O load, and if deteriorated, it may 'rattle'. Under load it should pop if loose.

Hard to tell w/o actually hearing your case. Turbo would rattle consistently, as opposed to just 1st gear.

Default Articulated link at aft end of tranny, connecting to chassis. Torque link, if you will.
