The noise is much louder when you have a cone filter fitted.
Probably not the best explanation but you should hopefully understand what i mean.
I blame Jerermy Clarkson for people calling it wastegate chatter, the only wastegate noise you will ever hear is if you havent got the preload of the actuator set right it will make a horrible vibrating noise. Or if the penny fell off you would probably hear it pinging through you exhaust whilst thinking why has my car just turned into a 1.6L
.
I think this is a good explanation, direct and to the point.
A few days ago for me lad I removed the DV pipe and blocked it to get chatter, he loved it, but christ did it kill the performance through the gears, still at least putting the vac pipe back on let me hear it's eaten another diaphragm!!
