Sounds more like the Timing Chain Tensioner on start up - Once oil pressure has built up it goes quiet. That’s pretty common. IF the exhaust is glowing you have an air leak. Most probably from the IC boots or the the Black Supercharger ducting has a green seal that can leak.
In the next couple of videos, I change the timing chain and all associated parts. Then service the supercharger and the green seal had been leaking by the state of the block!
It almost sounds like a backfire.... . Check the Intercooler boots are fresh and installed properly as well, it's a cheap easy check. Once didn't install that intercooler properly and it starts loosing power due and engine starts heating up.
Check the Rear motor mount (dogbone) under the car from oil pan to subframe. they can look fine but the rubber is almost gone. as to the lack of power the line for the fuel pressure regulator tends to come off and starve the engine of fuel.
Nice

Rubbish mate, R53 most reliable, its R56 that isn't
