Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away! -

Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time. -
Ahh yeah, probably not too surprising - nice catch anyway, aside from being a bit of a pain. I think we've done a bit of wrestling and grinding to make sure all is aligned and clearanced nicely if it seems like a potential ongoing problem. -
Yes - at ~2500-2700 rpm (ie, about 100-110) it was barking a bit. But I've heard that before. Makes me wonder if I haven't captured the flapper open in the past, but with the circlip still in place it rectified itself. More than once.

Ahh one of my favourite things Have experienced that with a couple of aftermarket IWG turbo setups, a hint is (usually?) the exhaust gets a bit rowdier/tinnier under normal driving around as you've effectively lost a muffler you usually have operating when you're lurking around off boost. When I do road trips in my BMW I often (don't tell anyone I do this...) run it in Eco-Pro mode which turns out to open the wastegate at cruise to keep it working as an NA and maybe a little less pumping loss by having the exhaust have an easier path, never noticed that this is what was happening until I upgraded my dump pipe and starting thinking "Why is my car sounding a bit like it's got an exhaust leak now?" - only to find it go away when I run it in any other mode. Time to go external gate
