My boost controll gives me a chatter sound and I hate it

Power fc boost controll, turbosmart 45 external waste 14 psi spring. 3l and 10cm rear.

when this thing comes on boost it makes a disgusting chatter sound threw the wastegate witch I thought was knock Im pretty sure it's the boost controller pulsing. It's also a bit doughy. 

When I turn boost controll off. It spikes to 20psi witch is my target then falls to 15 14. It feels like it has more torque aswell. And Best of all. That crappy chatter sound goes away.

ive thought of some options

am I best to get rid of the boost controll and get a 18psi spring and Mabey bleed off mechanically?

or hook up the  e boost controller so it's not fail safe and just goes to the bottom port and not the top and bleed it of electronically.

or are my settings wrong. Ramp and gain and all that stuff?

My Power FC boost control kit never made any noise. Also, when the boost control is turned off, your boost control should (funnily enough) do nothing. I accidentally turned it off once and hit 27psi before i realised (running 18psi back then)

Sounds like you have another issue. Is it hooked up right?

I'm pretty sure it's hooked up correct. I can double check in the morning. There's a chance the solenoid is round the wrong way.

yes ure rite. When it's turned off it does nothing. And the bottom port of the waste gate still gets boost pressure cause there's a tee piece on the boost controll feed. This is the fail safe rite? 

I feel pretty dumb but this is going back to basics isn't it?

when mine is turned off it hits 20 psi the. Goes back to 14 But that's to be expected isn't it with a "small" 10cm rear turbo housing on a rb30.

This is how I have it plumbed up.

I've got port 1 and 2 around the wrong way. What an amateur. Haha. No wonder the car felt gutless.

Thatll probably do it. Making a bit of a boost leak. Let us know if it gets rid of the chatter. Mine was always pretty quiet from memory
