Are you sure its the dash and not the speakers? Could be the stereo picking up engine noise, which could be a earth issue not sure.

It might be easier to listen with the bonnet open and get someone else to rev the engine. Could be an exhaust (probably cat) problem, could be the turbo heatshield, could be something else.

had the same noise, it was a blown gasket on egr pipe that goes into manifold under the turbo.

first thing rubb along the bulk head if its leaking it will be covered in soot
near the drivers side dude thats best place to start rubbing the bulk head
it will be realy sooty if there is a leaking gaset aroung there

i did not fix mine my self but it did not cost alot too

cant do pictures sorry, as judwalk said, plus its a 2inch pipe with a flange on it, it goes to manifold near turbo try to tighten 2 nuts if not its the gasket.

I had the same noise from the same place on mine. It ended up being the 90 degree turbo inlet pipe split underneath. Quick call to Roughtrax, bought me a new one, no more noise when accelerating, hope this helps.
