Could even be the turbo mounting bracket.

I had a rattle, and it turned out the bracket was broken/snapped, and was just the 2 bits of the bracket rattling together. Just welded it together and all was good.

I would check all brackets, mounting points, heat shielding etc around your turbo and exhaust, as you may have a similar issue. The rattle could be something as simple as a broken or missing bolt.

I've attached a pic that shows the turbo bracket point (red) and the heat shield bracket points (orange). The pic is with TMIC and heatshield off...
