I verified with him that he was turning it the correct way (Clockwise if you are facing towards the front of the car). Is it possible that mine is so loose, that it needs more than 3 turns?

The stupid rattle is driving me crazy. I'm on the verge of buying the RB turbos just to fix this issue once and for all.


correct, but just weird the way you explained it because I can't see how you could adjust the rod from the top facing towards front of car.

I would've said counter-clockwise facing firewall or rear of car unless he did it from underneath. Just double check with mechanic as it shouldn't get worse if adjusted correctly. Towards fender and away from block with wrench on top.
