Question 2001 Turbo Car Problem...Maybe?

I recently bought my 2001 Beetle and I am loving it! Of course it is the 1.8 Turbo. When I start my car and the turbo heats up, it starts making a knocking noise. Is this correct or do I have a problem on my hands? Any advice will help!! Thanks

Is the knocking an internal engine sound like when an old car with bad gas goes up a hill? Or is it an external sound? Might just be your center exhaust support, mine did that for a week until I (read: muffler place) re-welded it.

Default Still a problem, or not?

It is a small ticking noise, not a knock as I previously stated, it seems to be associated with the turbo. It sounds external (not like a lifter or a tappet)and only starts after the engine is warma and up to operating temperature.

Sorry in the delay, been gone on work trip!
