So I have brand new turbos that have less then 1k miles on them. When I had the stock down pipes on no jb4 I had zero rattle. I put downpipes on with jb4, now every time I do light throttle from 2k to 3k I get this horrible rattle noise . If I rev not in gear, no rattle. No matter what setting I put menu 10 and 12. It doesn't help. If I put menu 10 to saying 20 on tach, I instantly get horrible rattle. Any ideas?

Seems to be a relatively widespread issue on the newest firm of JB4. Which hardware if your JB? Is it the G5 ISO?

I have similar issue, but only a faint rattle at partial throttle acceleration that can only be heard in a quite parking garage. I felt the WG actuator rod the other day, it seems to have very minimal play... Oh well, just waiting to get my new exhaust mounted so it can drown out the noise.

But if your rattle is really bad, you can try adjusting them through this guide: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176269 However, I still think the proper to adjust the actuator rod is with the downpipe off and have a vacuum pulling the WG closed so you can see how much adjustment you actually need. For me, it is just not worth the trouble.

hhm so maybe the jb4 is the culprit.. but how? I kinda want to try a cobb tune to see if it would get rid of the rattle but not sure the price is worth it for this experiment

Idk but I have brand new turbos that didn't make a peep until I put the jb4 and downpipes back on. Could the rod need to be adjusted for the extra flow?

Yes newest firmware. Also have the newest firmware from BMW too. Never had a problem until jb4 and down pipes. Specially on brand new turbos... And with out jb4 my turbos were rattle free 100%
