I'dneed more description of the issue before I'd be able to make a call on that...

well its just an odd noise. i am taking off the oil pan in a little bit once the oil cools down to see if maybe a bearing is jacked up on the connecting rod. if the bearing is messed up then i can just swap a new one in and i should be ok. if the bearing scored the crank shaft then im in deep trouble! its just when ever the car starts up it makes this odd ping ping ping knocking noise and it doenst do it at idle. just when i start to accelerate the gas pedal down the rpm's start to climb up. doesnt make sense to me. any suggestions or anything ?????

Thrown rods do not go "ping". Thrown rods sound like someone it beating your motor with a sledgehammer.
Rod bearings have this deep, evil "tock tock tock tock" that increases with engine speed. It's an ominous sound. Makes me nervous just thinking about it.

maybe it is just a rod bearing then ... its almost like a tock tock tock (knocking) noise. im taking the oil pan off in 2 minutes to see whats up. how do i tell if its just the bearing that needs replaced???? thanks so much.

My oil return line came with a bulkhead (shown below)
When installing we had to be careful to not have it inline with a rod or it would have (could have I think) hit. If your oil fitting on the pan isn't like this then thats probably not the case for you. It just sounded like a possibility when you said you first started it up and heard the noise.

no mine isnt like that at all. ya it does it when i start it up right away but then goes away real fast and doesnt do it at idle. only starts doing it when i accelerate on the gas pedal and turbo is only spooling up sometimes. any more suggestions.

It is a click, click or a clack, clack sound. Try checking on the wastegate rod. It maybe loose. If so, it will do a clicking noise and the turbo will not boost sometimes. I don't see why it damage a rod bearing just by installing a turbo kit before running the car first.

SOunds like he has a STAR kit. There is no wastegate rod - it's an external gate, which is what real men use.
