18T- chattering/compressor stalls a lot.

[MaxTS]

Hello,

I picked up a Saffron S70R on Friday (thread coming soon). It's had a few mods but turbo related it's had a Forge actuator, blanking plate, RIP kit, cone air filter and increased pressure but it gets compressor stall a lot the sort of wa-cha-cha-cha-cha sound and does it every single time the throttle is released and you can only avoid it by lifting off very very slowly. Sounds great, far prefer it to a chavvy BOV sound but I understand compressor stool is not great for turbo's in general so what would people recommend?

My thoughts are-

fit an atmospheric BOV (really hate that sound though)

fit in a recirc valve (but where to route the waste air to with a cone filter?)

try and source the standard BOV plate and fit back onto the turbo


Any advice would be great :)

Thanks.

It's not stalling ( I won't start the ££££ jokes :)), it is fine chattering away, the td04 range aren't big enough to cause you any problems

Thanks James! I will keep creating stools :snail: haha

It absolutely is compressor stall, more commonly incorrectly referred to as wastegate chatter.

As above though, our little whistles aren't big enough to warrant the concern.
