Anyone?

Nope....I only hear one Clicking noise when you let off the accelerator. Failing wastegates make a rat tat tat noise...Almost like a rattle snake rattle. At least from your video it sounds like one defined Clicking noise which is just the wastegate opening and closing tight...not rattling loose.

I have the same noise and just attribute it to the wastegates opening and closing.
