My noise was just as you describe... about a minute and gone.
My theory was that on a cold start, warm air is routed somewhere for a while until something is warmed up and then it stops. (stop me if I'm being too technical!) That's why I went for the new turbo bypass valve (because it had valve in the name and related to the turbo where I scoped the noise) That wasn't it.
Still, there's no way around my noise being gone with a new PCV kit and a new turbo. Another option, perhaps, is the inlet gaskets to the turbo. Could those have been installed incorrectly on a new turbo or something and being allowing an inlet leak? (but again, why would that just be for a minute)
I still don't get it. But my noise is gone.
