Might be but sounds like metal on metal

using the Perth-WRX mobile app

Exhaust up pipe to turbo heat shield may be loose and catching steering knuckle.

I have no heat shielding lol

Has a workshop checked it?
best way to suss it out is get it on a four post hoist and get someone to turn the wheel whilst they listen for it!
