Wastegate Rattle on Startup Fix?

[Dachuri]

Has anyone found a fix to the wastegate rattle heard when starting the truck? I know dealers are telling guys this is normal, just wondering if there's a silicone sleeve or something to line the actuators that can eliminate the rattle. There's a couple videos on YouTube from another forum member showing the wastegate rattle and I'm wondering if the '18's are doing this as well (gotta believe they are).

Truck runs like a beast, just hoping to get his minor annoyance eliminated.

My GTI had a similar issue. I upgraded the turbos and it eliminated the issue. Otherwise, this was the fix for the stock turbo. We probably need something similar.

Following... drives me nuts. Mine isn't nearly as bad as in this video and mine only lasts 2 seconds but still.

I was the first to report this. Thats my video. 2018 does it as well. Its annoying as ****. Its caused by the actuator.

I've got two interior rattles, one where the center console meets the dash and one in the driver door. I've come to the conclusion that I will never own a vehicle that doesn't rattle inside at some point.

I have a rattle under the instrument cluster, where the steering wheel meets it.

Nope. When I first mounted a go-pro to my bike I was kind of stoked. I scored some decent on bike footage and downloaded. From about 4-5k rpms, it sounds like marbles in a can. I mean, it really, really sounds like ass. I played and re-played it for several runs, videoed the bike in neutral and the sound is gone. There is some piece near the camera that is getting some kind of resonance at that rpm range, noticeable in lower gears where there isn’t much other noise, but I have never heard it “live” only on the video. :-/

so I sympathize about the rattles.

I had the same rattle, took it apart and applied some tape to close up the gaps some, also noticed its also coming from the plastic trim covering the steering wheel colom.
