not sure if this is right, but my first set went with TBB replace
second set is I thinkin due to intercool hose pop...now I am on the third set with good Samco TBB and all tight up clamp... so far it been holding up for 18k miles, but 60% out of that wasn't driven hard like I usually do.

At the speeds the turbos spin, you wouldn't really hear "clanking". And by the time you did, that sound would quickly degrade to something ugly.
