a light tapping from the top is usually the follows, any deeper knocking is the bottom end,

or could be due a oil change

do u have a boost gauge, if not, most standard rs turbos normally run about 2-3psi due to worn actuators!, c what boost its running, then get it setup, maybe your timing is out aswell
