Short lived but sounds like knock. Video inside

I knew what I was getting into when I bought another 20 year old turbo car. So, any recommendations? Appears to only knock like that at idle for the time being, only started this morning. Been on the lowest boost setting for the last few months, oil is good, pressure has been high all winter though I was told it was normal. Anyone looking for a project GTiR? I can't have 2 engine builds at once at 2 different houses (as I have to also buy a new Murano, what lukc), not enough tools.

Anyway, I'm guessing is rod knock but it goes away when not idling.

Dunno how to post videos properly since the new server change (photobucket) but here's a link.

Yea at first I thought maybe exhaust leak but thats tough. Use a screw driver and start puting your ear to it, will magnify the sound for ya to narrow it down.
