Default waste gate chatter

a lad i know has a saxo vts with a turbo conversion and he dont have a dump valve as the wastegate sounds mental enough. he is running 17 psi tho

how could i get wastegate chatter on mine, theres a slight noise from it but nothing noisey. is it just a question of how much boost your running and what actuator and what stage turbo your using.

Efi conversion mate, yours does do it, its just you can not hear it because it has to come through the metering head.
