Also wanted to update that someone in here had suggested switching from the Castrol 5w50 to M1 0w40 in hopes that it would quiet the noise. The theory being that it flows to the Turbo bearings better when cold.
No change at all. I think the noise is just indicative of an old turbo, but not necessary an imminent failure.
