I'm fairly certain at this point my wastegate is taking a dump

What were the telltale signs for some of you?
I am getting a metallic grating whoosh sound under certain acceleration and during idle a clattering rattle. |

Sorry to hear that...
Why isn't your BMW dealer reacting? You still have a warrenty! They should repair it...

Last visit they told me the wastegate is "fine."
But now it is really pronounced. It doesn't happen when revving in P or N. I don't know if it's the turbo or WG. So I'm looking for experiences. YouTube seems to tell me it's WG. |

Meh. Everything is "normal." DINAN software tells the cars to build more boost earlier. The turbo sounds like it's making obscene noises like a slide whistle up and down and a grating spooling sound I just never heard before. Ah well, I'll just wait for an engine light.

Can you get a sound clip of it?
Ever since my JB4 was installed, I get a weird metallic gurgle sound around 1800 to 2800 RPM in normal driving. I am guessing wastegate, but don't think it is a problem other than an annoying noise. |
