you wont be buying wastegate mate as its an integral part of your turbo and cant be swapped.

a recirculation dump valve wont make any noise, thats what you are after?

you get dump valve pssh through having an athomspheric dump valve which dumps air out of the engine

or wastegate chatter by blocking the dump valve hole up with a bung but not sure if its safe to do on focus rs's. its not actually wastegate making the noise but the turbo blades hitting the back pressure of air
