Default Engine knock!
Ok here is the deal I took my twin turbo kit off and put some longtubes on.So after i start it up it starts knocking and after it warmed up it went away is it a lifter maybe?

Well nothings a 100% but pretty safe to make that assumption considering that it goes away problably one just isn't wanting to pump up etc...

sounds like an exhaust leak. Can't tell too good from the video, but is it more of a chirping sound?

Take off the valve covers, almost sounds like the same knock that mine had, and mine ended up being a cracked valvespring. Is it misfiring?

This was mine:
