Dropped a friend at work and this happened suddenly. Sounds like it's in the valvetrain... has oil and coolant, grinding noise under boost :|

Car starts and runs fine, makes an intermittent rough scraping sound at idle and while driving every 3 seconds. Like sheet metal scraping quickly- like shhhhhtt

Barely boosts but boost gauge functions normally, grinding under acceleration badly. Otherwise rpms and starting up arr normal


I did just change all accessory drive belts, timing done 5k miles ago...

Is it that rustle-rustle-rustle-fhwwp sound?
I think we're going to need more than that, especially under different conditions
idle, light rev, heavier rev (but not crazy), possibly slow speed drive.

Referring to the grinding and intermittent loud shhhttt noise (at the beginning of starting and at the end.)

Update! Took off the intake. Turbo has major major shaft play, turbine is loose. Hopefully bits of metal didn't go into the engine. Will drain the oil and see.
Crankcase and intake aren't connected. That won't tell you anything. If metal bits went anywhere check your intercooler. If they got into the motor they likely aren't there anymore. Without a borescope you may never know.
