I can duplicate it with the car stopped in neutral, hood open and moving the accelerator. It is COMPLETELY RPM driven from idle up. Doesn't matter on clutch position, If you rev the car (while stopped--no movement), it happens. It get worse (louder) with the higher rpm.It has nothing to do with any drive train component or static component like exhaust pipes etc.What about the turbo? Could it be causing this?Thx for all you help guys!!!

I said rumble before but being more specific its like a bad bearing sound that gets louder as rpm's increase. I will pull the cover off on the weekend and investigate.I just had it at a shop for a water pump change and they changed a intermediate shaft seal. They retimed the engine, IP, etc. I also believe he said they replaced the intermediate pulley?? or tensioner as well.Does this help any!!Thx so much guys
