CHATTER !!!!!!!
Convert to EFi.
ERST's chatter, infact every turbo chatters to an extent as the throttle closes and the air is forced backwards through the compressor blades. It is the sound of the blades 'chopping' the air that can be heard. The chatter from the ERST turbo is muffled by the fact that there is a metering head and an air filter for the sound to pass through, so it can only vaguely be heard.
Make sense?
So, by getting rid of the metering head, you will hear the chatter!

is there a lot of work involved to do this or would it just be a waste of time. iv heard other rs's chatter i think it sounds nice but unsure on the work that has to be done thanks
What do you guys think about my little theory? 
I guess you'd be able to get chatter if you put a dump valve on and put a bleed valve into the vacuum hose that's controlling the d/v. Bleed away most of the air so that the piston in the dump valve is only opening a tiny little bit when on vacuum and therefore allowing the "sound" to escape, yet maintaining enough pressure inside the hoses to stall the compressor wheel.

ive converted to EFI, the chatter sounds cool.. but didnt cost me 1k to convert,
i managed to snap up a FRST engine loom and sensors , ECU, and chip all for Ł160.. inlet manifold and complete head for Ł60.. pedal was already converted,, all in it cost me about - Ł300 maybe less...
well worth the money too... made a massive difference to MFI..

kept me mfi head though, got a adpter plate on mine instead, starts first time in the mornings now
ive been offerd a cheep 1600 xr2i can i use the inlet,head,loom etc to do an efi conversion on my s1 obviosly i'll need the frst ECU but apart from that will that be ok....just thinking about it while its in bits
