Why is the EWG Actuator ringing and tinging accepted as "normal"???
EWG's make a sound like "jingling keys" when the turbo isn't under load. More pronounced when you start adding/removing stuff from the OEM setup. Temps seem to have an effect as well. As the engine warms, most of this goes away.

The EWG has no load on it at idle or for the most part, in between shifts.

I wonder if that's what I'm hearing when I let off the gas...I thought it was something with the greddy exhaust of mine. never noticed it until now, lol...but maybe what I'm hearing isn't the same thing

Is this after running the car hard?

If it's the EWG, likely not. Most make the noise when cold and it starts disappearing when warmed up.

That's when I hear a small metallic sound...like a real quick metal to metal vibration. I thought it was from my new exhaust...my front pipe is 3" but greddy midpipe has that 2.5 collector with small bolts...I thought it may be the small bolts lol...struggling to figure it out.

Is it loud enough to where you slightly embarrassed by it...that's how I feel lol
