Although i really dont recommend driving whilst thr car is pinking you could try it by going along @30-40mph in 5th then nail it,if its going to pink it'll do it way before you get near scary revs,once the boost comes in it should start rattling its nuts off tbh.
low rpm under load causes it to pink mate, did it tonight, i cant
see it being a mechanical rattle, engine just been rebuilt.
it can get sorted on the 18th hopefully,
thanks for the info
