Anyone get wastegate rattle fixed under 3rd party warranty?

I've been noticing what I assume is wastegate rattle (loud ticking when engine braking, especially noticeable when driving past a line of parked cars) lately, but I'm past all factory warranty periods. Has anyone been able to get it fixed under a 3rd party warranty? I'm using Route 66.

though mine wasn't route 66, but yes, turbos replaced due to rattling wastegates. I've read good things about route 66, buy some recently started they may be getting stricter. really it all depends on the people calling in for the claim. But usually if it's a know common problem, you shouldn't have much trouble.
