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!

It's alot of work just to be able to hear chatter.

A full management conversion is needed, which will cost well over Ł1k.

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..
