Turbo making noise?

So I’m pretty new to the car just bought it 2 months ago and had to purchase a whole brand new exhaust system cause of rust. Bought a tubular manifold, an s280 turbo, Cobb downpipe, and an Mbrp exhaust. Got a base map from dizzy and got the car running this monday. I’ve been driving recently and notice it’s developed a kind of noise like the turbo is tapping on something? Only when the turbo spoils aswell. Slow acceleration doesn’t produce any noise. It doesn’t seem major as it’s been about two days since it started but wondered if anyone had a similar noise pop up?

Wondering if you took enough off the unused bolt hole on the block when s280 installed? Just an initial thought

Or does a tubular manifold alleviate the need to shave that little bit??

Did you reuse the oem exhaust and.downpipe mounts? Could also be the downpipe or front end of exhaust tapping? The oem mounts are super soft and heavier exhausts move around alot more.

Yeah only the downpipe had a new mounting bracket. It could also very well be the engine mounts. Or maybe a piece of heat shield, it is pretty rusty down there

I could check that again aswell but I thought the tubular had enough clearance with what I shaved off

I’m starting to think it’s either the tune or the turbo itself? Maybe not enough oil?
