Is this a mechanical clattering noise, or a funny exhaust noise?

could be cracked ringlands, bad rings, you might dropped a valve and had piston to valve contact which would make a lot of noise ....

Or properly torque the spark plugs. My cousin installed new spark plugs and 1 wasn't tight = Subiesound!
so just curious as to what your fuel management is. is it top secret or non-existent based on your lack of answer?

Awesome. I suggest turning up the boost +10psi more. You are not taking advantage of that tune.
It'll run much better in this temperature
