New Years Rattle and Emissions Warning

New Years Rattle and Emissions Warning
Recently I've noticed when I'm off the gas and near a wall where I get some reverberation I have started hearing a rattling noise coming from underneath the RDX. It sounds like one of those New Years noise makers where you spin it around and it makes that rattling noise I'm trying to describe. Any idea?
Unrelated, or maybe related, recently I got the P2263 emission code "Turbo Boost System Performance". I'd read about this before, and just plugged in my OBDII and reset the warning. It hasn't come back on for about 100 miles, so I'm hoping it was a "misfire" of communication. If you all think I'd better take it in, I'll do that too.
Just looking for thoughts before I make an expensive trip to the dealer.

The dealer will quote you a full turbo replacement for several grand. However, you can DIY this with some patience. The bolt itself is under $200 from a fellow in Canada. It took me about 90 minutes to do in my garage. Happy to share more in detail if you want, but definitely read the last few pages in the thread below to get a better understanding of the issue and solution.

99% likely that it's the issue discussed in this thread. I just went through it myself and put the new bolt in 5 days ago. World of difference. Your CEL will most likely stay off until you do some driving that requires lots of turbo use. Mine originally came on when doing a trip through mountains, but within 2 days of regular work commute it went back off. Still, based on other symptoms (same as what you describe here), I knew the issue would not get better and needed to be addressed.
