Great news mate, relieved for ya!
Plus you probably get the benefit of a few more horses as a result now 
It worries me though that some garages are evidently too quick to jump the gun and want charge you £££ for a new turbo and fitting on a bit of an educated guess.
Well avoided, and excellent result.
Although you've got me a bit worried now, mine can sound slightly rattly on cold start up but I just assumed it was a heat sheald.
They were useless mate! after i found out what the issue was i said lets get it sorted and while your under the car, can you bash the pre-cat out for me...? he said yes and ill see you tomorrow........... SHWEET
So Obviously didn't do it. he said that would have took more time and money... WOW, no sh*t!
Anyway, i definitely dodged a bullet there, for the time being i got them to cut the guts out of the cat and weld it up. ill get round to buying a full system sometime soon.
The rattle definitely sounded like a heat shield to start with, but i only heard it when coasting in gear and coming down the revs for bout 70/80 miles until it blocked. the funny thing was they said the bit of cat they took out was WAY to big to block the pipe up. they were baffled by that but when they tested it it worked, so threw the car back at me!
i also made use of the guys there and had the follower changed while it was with them (i have the hardline version and dont own any spline bits)
Its definitely worth taking a look at the cat if that rattle, I hope thats all it is too as its a lot cheaper than a turbo!!
