Right im no good for things of a mechanical nature. I have 2 Imprezas one of which is tuned and i love the dump valve noise but with my other one a standard P1 I would prefer it to make the nicer chattering noise which im led to believe is a wastegate? external wastegate? I dont know, guess some of you guys do, wondering if anyones knows about this as I have never seen a scooby running one its always just dump valves. failing that what is it that makes squeaky whistle noise on the rallycars, I met a guy whose scoob did this and he said it was not dump valve or wastegate just air going back through the turbo if so how the hell did it make that noise and so loud? what work is involved in fitting a different noisy wastegate? cheers guys
