Turbo Chatter/Noise on Cold Start
Edit: I just realized this sound is much more likely coming from somewhere in the valvetrain or TCT than from the turbo... Derp.
I've noticed this before when I start putting around in the car in the mornings or after a cold start, but not as loud as it was this morning (colder air, very high fog/humidity this morning).
After driving the car for a mile or two the noise goes away. Is this noise a problem? I'm mostly just wondering if it could be an issue with the oil supply not providing enough lubrication.

Even on warm starts the turbo still chatters a bit for a few miles... really not liking this but unsure what's going on.

I still thought that a TCT ticking noise was supposed to get worse as a car warmed up though, not better? Possibly in need of a valve adjustment (or one sticking/not seating)?

Could be TCT

You can use a stethoscope to listen where the noise is coming from. The valvetrain, tct and turbo noises come from 3 complete different directions, so I think this should do the trick.
