Sounds like an intake manifold or PCV issue.

Cory, my car's at 21k miles. Don't really thing it needs some carbon-cleaning at this stage. Any other ideas? Did you already go Stage1 v2? Noticed anything?
Others at Stage2, what spark plug gap are you guys running?

In that case, shouldn't the error code pinpoint that?

Yea, my intake manifold went out earlier this year and the rpms were all over the place at idle, but other than that it drove fine. They'd shoot up to like 1800 and even get down to like 600-700 rpms without stalling. Next day I had 6 codes and intake manifold flap sensor was one of them. Here's all the codes that came up when I scanned... http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2381376&postcount=25
Had the manifold replaced and all the codes went away.

I've seen a few isolated misfires on the same plugs and coils, but not enough for an actual code, but I'm not sure whether it has changed with V2.1 or not. Either way I plan to re-gap my plugs to 0.028" for good measure.

So I got in my wastegate clip, fitted it and the rattle is still there. I can hear it maybe...slightly less... but that might be a combo of wind and other outside interference making me tune it out more. Gonna see if I can get the dealer to check it out, as it almost sounds like the cams are rattling or something to that effect. Does the cam positioning sensor trigger a MIL if that goes bad? I literally have like maybe 2-3 months left on my powertrain warranty, so I really want to find a solution to this issue.
A friend suggested that it sounded like my MKV when the HPFP destroyed the cam follower, and the cam lobe, HPFP and everything in between had to be rebuilt. I almost want to change my oil to look for metal chunks.
Weird thing is there's no noticeable loss in power...

Have the dealer check your timing chain tensioner, seriously. There's an inspection hole in the timing chain cover, they may be able to see if the tensioner is worn. I'm kind of paranoid about this on my car too. The EA888 is not prone to the cam follower problem that the EA113 had, so no problem there. Tensioner failure can be catastrophic though.

Yeah, gonna have them check the timing chain. I know there's no real known cam follower failure on these, but the sound it makes is similar.

Would that make an audible external rattle noise?

so got around to the dyno to see what APR stage 2 v2.1 puts down after being very pleased with the butt dyno, the real dyno confirmed it today and let's just say :clap::happyanim: this thing is a torque monster
Best 4th gear pull was 251whp/312wtq on a dynojet (temp was 69, and relatively humid day)
For the record I was extremely disappointed with their old file when I dyno'ed in the fall, which put down 227whp/268wtq (same dyno, same location, similiar temps)
sooooo :thumbsup: to v2.1
they will email me the graphs Monday

Well after limping around with the 2.0 version for 3-4 weeks I went out Tuesday a day after the great Houston flood through the high water areas to get the 2.1 version stage one. The problems are officially solved, beast mode ON! DSG shifting check, launch check, first gear tire spin check, second gear tire spin check, dammit how can you get a decent 0 to 60 time in this car
