Default external wastegate question

If a external wastegate was fitted to a ERST running 20psi would you get the chatter sound of the EFI e.g. Fiesta Turbo?

No, not while it has the Metering head.

External gate is pointless on a car that doesn't really need one (i.e. 300bhp plus IMO).

the chatter sound you are after has nothing to do with the size of the wastegate, it is merely the sound of the air being chopped by the turbo blades as you come off the throttle,and the sound echoes thrugh the filter.

The metering head kills all of this sound.
