I got the dreaded rattle coming from the turbo. 
after trawling the forums I convinced myself it was the was actuator linkage. And not something more sinister.. ie something rattling in the engine. I had a rattle on deceleration <2K rpm

i wasn’t in any rush to replace the turbo so bought the clip that was supposed to cure the rattle. 

Also I really didn’t want to remove the turbo or the exhaust pipe in order to access the area where the clip needed fitting. 

i squashed the clip in a vice to ensure it was a tighter fit. 

Then basically I attached the clip into a socket head (can’t remember the size) with a rubber band. 
And with a socket extension and a cheap iPhone endoscop, I was able to see and reach right up to the actuator arm linkage behind the headers and slide the clip right on. 
 

this cured the rattle but I don’t expect it to last long. Been on a couple of months now and so far so good. 
 

so just for info - this clip can be fitted without the need to remove ANYTHING
