mazdaspeed 3 loud sound not sure what it is

2008 Mazdaspeed three, this sound just started today and slowly got louder and worse. It started off only over 2K RPMs, and then it gradually got louder and now makes the noise when I idle. I have my intake off right now in this video because I thought it was my turbo scraping against the housing. I have no idea what it could be. It sounds terrible though and it’s getting worse. I just did injector seals about 5000 miles ago I put overspeed seals and everything has been perfectly fine and normal and this noise just came out of nowhere today.

I have cob intake, front mount intercooler, CS cat back exhaust, freek tune, just put a new stock turbo in around 10,000 miles ago. car has around 140,000 miles. VVT got done 15,000 miles ago.

Mazdaspeed 3 oil control valve replacement

to be able to replace the oil control valve that thing with the connector plugged into it on the left side of the valve cover. All I need to do is remove the valve cover and the bolt that holds it in, I don’t have to mess with anything else it’s just slide the old one out and slide the new one in?

Mazdaspeed P0016 CEL

hey guys, I have a P0016 camshaft/crankshaft correlation code. I clear the code and it doesn’t come back until I do a key cycle and then it’ll come on after a few minutes. I clear it and I can drive as long as I want it seems, I drove an hour and a half, and it never came back. But as soon as I hit the first key cycle, it came back. I’ve replaced both sensors and still doesn’t work. I’ve tested voltage on connectors. The timing, VVT everything got redone about 15,000 miles ago by previous owner, I just bought the car about a week ago and it’s always had this CEL. I bought the car not running and it needed a new fuel pump along with this code. also, another thing I found out is if I reset the code and just let it idle and not drive it, and do key cycles. It doesn’t come back. It’s only after I drive it and shut it off.

I have fmic, cob intake, and freak tune

it drives perfectly normal and I make full boost, I just have a CEL, I have it plugged into my versa tune, and my ignition timing advance is in spec along with my actual Valve timing. ChatGPT was trying to tell me it could be out of time. but I feel like it would run horrible and the versa tune would pick up bad timing.

9 blade turbine on Stock Turbo

hey guys, I was rebuilding my stock KO4 on my Mazdaspeed three and I was wondering if anyone has changed out the stock turbine for a nine blade supposedly it has more flow vs the stock 12 blade?
