well as stated above ive fitted a Very big turbosmart dumpvalve, best part of £250! its a recuirculative, and gives of a nice FAT chatter! its not as quick as it was before when it was running my Forge dumpvalve, and it can be slightly hesitant on hard boost, but im gonna have a fettle with it and see if i can get it a bit better in those aspects, its not threw up any ault codes as of yet..... how deadly is chatter to a KO3 turbo? :confused:

looks like an atmospheric one to me ???? to big imo why not stick with the forge one??? :confused:

why do a mod that will loose you power :eek:

its sounds so much better and its onl a slight slight bit down, ive sorted the slight judder issue aswell now

Got any sound or video clips?

Chatter is usually bad for a turbo as it's putting undue stress on the bearings and shaft, but I haven't seen any posts on here about how (and if) it affects the K03 turbo.

ill load a video this afternoon chap

Chatter is very bad for the K03S in the octavia RS as its not the strongest turbo, having seen the results of a failed turbo where parts of the blades found their way into the engine and destroyed that as well why take the risk. The owner of said vRS needed, a new tubo, intercooler, and engine and cost in excess of 2K to sort.

Chatter or Dumping noise ????

The two often get confused, as pointed out chatter is bad, dumping noise is a matter of tatse.
