Funny sound coming from my wastgate... is it serious?

[RTFGTR]

Hi,

I had the temporary piping & welding (needed for VIC Roads RWC certificate) removed from my wastegate to exhaust on Friday last week. B4 work was done the noise level on boost was high, but similar to the sound of turbo spooling... with pipe fitted not much different. Now when on full boost it really does sound like my car is doing a fanny fart. Why is this so? Only the pipe that went from wastegate to exhaust was removed and then hole in exhaust filled and welded shut. I can’t notice any lack in performance and the cut on pipe is straight, not jagged or squashed.

I would like to get it sounding better than it does now. Any explanation, thoughts would be appreciated.

Oh… BlindElk I have your front brake lines if you see this. PM me and I will meet up with you and return. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated

ok, Im not really following what you man mate... so some questions

Do you have an ext wastegate?

The wastegate was plumbed back into the exhaust... and now its externally venting (or a screamer pipe in other words)?

if so... then thats the noise they make man.

I have an external wastegate.

Screamer pipe yes...

But B4 I had the work done it screamed but not like it does now. It's like it's singing out of tune if you know what I mean? Maybee all I need is to cut again above weld where sleeve was placed and maybee thats causing the funny scream. It is pretty off putting and I bet would scare the shit out of a driver with his window down if was not expecting it... even better if done past an undercover >> ass ram!
