I currently have what seems to sound like a heatshield rattling around 2k to 3k in 3rd gear. I don't notice a lack of performance, but still kind of worries me, any idea what it might be?

Mebe a heat sheild around your exhaust/turbo area? IDK . Noboy posed so I decided to. ;) My freaking Dust sheilds around the brakes would hit the rotors when I first got the car when I would hit little bumps in the road. Dealer couldn't fix the problem so I just bent them back a little.

hmmm, not sure what it is. I mean its not affecting performance, I just don't want shit getting lose and effing things up. It seems you hear it better inside the car with the windows up
