In all honesty it could be anything top end related without hearing/seeing it.

Could also be a piston wearing and sing sideways under load known as piston slap, I had that problem, it's when the piston skirt starts to collapse and moves at tdc

is it an rs turbo? if so pointless changing tappets without changing the cam as well they will both be equally knackered usually
