Ordered some random bits to get the new K16 billets back on (heat shields, gaskets, studs, nuts). Turbos are on their way back to me, yay!

Soul is sold. I’m hoping to find an EP2 loud (in case anybody is selling one here!).

Trying to solve metallic popping noise from the suspension/driveline when parking. I tightened as many nuts and bolts as I could fine. Better but not completely solved.
Also removed and recrimped the left radiator for a slight coolant smell. I didn't see any evidence of leaking from the radiator but I did see some evidence of leaking from the upper rad hose where it met the metal hose.
Next up engine oil and transmission fluid change.

The popping noise is probably the springs binding in your coil overs/struts.

Sway bar bushings make a similar noise if they are buggered, they also squeak.

The noise doesn't depend on the steering. Plus I already insulated the coil springs. The intermittent metallic pop occurs going drive to reverse, reverse to drive and/or going over small curbs.

You have a Tip?

If there is a noise shifting from D to R or vice versa, it suggests there is something going on in the box.
