How bad is it?

Rattling noise from about 700 rpm to 1000 rpm I have a slight rattle when I first take off from a stop and sometimes when I'm rolling slow almost to a stop it rattles as well. It's coming from this area in the picture. How bad is it? What am I looking at? Transmission failing? No codes. Just a rattle and it's very inconsistent. Any ideas?

I was running aggressive stage 1 Cobb tune for a while but I haven't had it in since I've had my turbos replaced by BMW.

It a slight rattle kinda sounds like wastegate rattle but in this location. It happens only after the car is warmed up and only happens sometimes when I press on the peddle from a stop and sometimes on deceleration. It also happens sometimes when I'm in neutral and I can press the peddle slightly and it will rattle. Like I said very inconsistent and drives and shifts normal. Very annoying

Literally only 500 miles on my new turbos. I know this is the location because I jacked it up and had someone press the peddle slightly like I said and got it to rattle. This is the location it's coming from for sure

Maybe its the heat shield to the turbos. I have a slight rattle that only happens around 900 RPM and 2k RPM. It doesn't do it while sitting, and when im driving if I press the clutch in and rev I don't hear it either. Only when I am in gear.

Changed turbos recently as well.

I posted a video of it I'll post it again. Doesn't sound like a heat shield

This might be a stupid assumption but if one my vacuum lines was pinched or cut would it make a rattle sound????

Come to think about it I'm not entirely 100% sure where the noise is coming from. The tranny shifts and drives normal. My boost solenoids? If these go bad or any vacuum lines go bad this would cause even brand new turbo wastegates to rattle correct?
