I have a few sounds, the chirpy one u speak of may be the similar to a sound I would describe as a chugging sound on idle.

The chugging sound comes from the turbocharger area, not sure what it is, but I've checked for shaft play and have none.

Theres also a ringing noise on feather throttle or deceleration right on 3000 rpm, sometimes audible in 1st gear, it just happens on the 3k mark, nowhere else.

I do know from what I can see underneath the car that there is a nice dent in the exhaust shielding just after the downpipe and one of the clips that holds it in is loose. - Do you think this would be the main culprit?

That's a loose or missing exhaust stud my friend. I have that same problem not only in my MR2 Turbo, but in my Celica as well, as one of the exhaust studs is loose and for some reason I cannot tighten it back to sit for the life of me. Mine on the Celica happens in 4th gear, but it is more like the ringing noise and the stud is loose but still sits in it's position, just amazes me how it doesn't fall out, but I think the shield is keeping it in place. Even though it has that, it doesn't make the chirpy sound of an exhaust leak, but the stud is loose. So you might want to check that out. I am not sure what a chugging sound might indicate, but if you (probably sure you have already did this) can, locate where it is coming from. Maybe an intake leak through your intercooler piping? I dunno.
