The box that has fins is the fuel cooler, that was on the right. Follow those lines a little more to the left. There is a resevior there. See the lid and the sight glass?
What is the level of coolant in that container. Do not open if hot. Should be able to make out the level of coolant in the sight glass.
If low it takes the same gold coolant as the degas bottle.
Cheezit is right about the center pic. That is the turbo with its electronics. Turn the key from off to on it should click and move. Have some one cycle the key while you watch it.
Is that the sound?

For him to notice the noise while hes driving it has to be something relatively loud. He also commented that it is like sticking a card in bike spokes which I would take to mean it is constant (at least for a period of time) when accelerating.
Maybe the control arm worked loose and it is vibrating against something?

The box that i am showing in the pic is next to the fuel cooler itself. It has a push rod on the side of that when you give it gas it moves. It has something to do with the Turbo im sure of but noone knows what it is.

Seems real odd you would not get a engine light if the actuator is not working properly. Im curious in park,,,have u had the hood open and confirmed where the noise is coming from or is that your best guess based on the noise your hearing.
