Message	I'm looking at buying a TT soon that has been rebuilt with Wiseco pistons. The current owner has said there is a bit of "slap" noise that can be heard with them. I'm going to check out the car in person, but I'd like to know if with the Wiseco's some noise is normal? I've searched and a few people have mentioned some "chatter", but I can't find if this has a negative effect on the motor, or is just something to be expected. Is this noise bad, or just normal for these pistons? Thanks!
