as i was driving through the desert to orange county, the ambient temperature hit 116 and no less than 110 for about 5 or 6 hours of driving. i couldnt get the engine temperature any lower than the next mark ABOVE the 180 point. even with ac off and heater blowing full. when i arrived, i noticed a loud rattle from the engine, i popped the hood, and eventually pinpointed the rattle to the turbo using a stethoscope. i havent had time to remove it to inspect it, just wondering if this has happened to anybody else. i still have power. and once i hit 1200-1500 rpm it sounds perfectly fine from then on. any input would be appreciated.
