k04 turbo

you'll never have the sound of the Escort again mate, I had EFI on mine with just a filter on the side of the turbo and no DV, it used to scare people walking on the street lol

pure atmospheric valves have issues with the golf, keep throwing out error codes, can get a forge r-splitter valve, which is 50/50 recirc and atmosperic, but apparently it hits performance. With the forge 007p valve which is just recirc, its pretty good, not alot of noise of noise but u do hear it going vrrrrr psssssss, not very loudly, but mainly in 2nd gear from my experience.

Pretty sure turbo flatter is not a good thing to aim or, thought it also causes more turbo wear, also I thought the DV has an effect of turbo flatter. One friends DV in the golf was fualty, that flattered, then another friend in his seat leon k1 mk2, changed the DV to a atmospheric one, which is just one with holes, that caused flatter. But when he switched back to stock the flatter stopped, wonder if the lower spec springs on the 007p will do the same by not holding pressure? Just an idea.

i already have the forge 007 with stronger springs still sounds like a golf

wazzer i know what you mean thats a real turbo sound a filter straight after the turbo no maf sensor etc just a high pitch flutter i understand i willnever get that but would like to get as close to that as possible

this must be your first turbo car then, i used to like dump valves when i was 12 then as i grew up i grew out of them and realised how chavy they are 

i know where your coming from tho i think i will just have to put up with it

Had a Series 2 RS Turbo, 2x Calibra turbo's, 1 running 300bhp, a golf turbo and then my current golf turbo.

Now when i had my calibra i had a dump valve fitted but this used to chatter. This came down to the turbo wastegate bushes going and causing it to recirculate the air back up through the intake/air filter. Once i had the turbo fully reconn'd, it went away.

I know the chatter you speak of and you see it alot on jap cars. I think this is maybe down to the big power cars running external wastegates
