Turbo Chatter is just a result of the turbo stalling.
This isn't good for the turbo and will eventually cause problems for it, so its probably best to avoid doing this unless you can afford new turbos whenever they fail for the sake of a strange noise.

Fit a stainless like a magnex which I have, it makes the noise a lot louder. When i do it in 2nd or 3rd people turn round in the street!

u need an induction kit

i have one on my tdi and it sounds amazing - its like a woooooti kh kh kh
i cant realy make out how its cause but am guessing that when the gear is changed it like the air force causes the air intake to whiplash and shake causing the noise like a deep dump valve - there are more posts of this in other areas if you look and some of them recomend which kit to go for about £70

turbo chatter is caused when the blades of the turbo are forced to stall

(not good)

Fit a de-CAT pipe, it will make your turbo noise very apparent.

May need your CAT refitted around MOT time for your year of manufacture.

don't fit an induction kit, all you will be doing is sucking the hot air from your engine bay into the intake!!!!! :ban:

get an PD160 intake scoop & hose and use a green panel filter in the standard airbox ;)

searchy searchy :whistle:

and you won't need to re-fit the CAT for the MOT ;) i didn't :D
