What Kind Of Wastegate Sounds Like This?!?!?

This is a video of a Prodrive P2 that was reviewed on topgear by jeremy

that car has one of the sweetest sounding wastegate/bov's i've ever heard....

Now, jeremy says it's a wastegate, but if i'm not mistaken, shouldnt that be the blow out valve and not the wastegate?

Either way, what the hell is making that beautifull sound?? I want my skyline to sound like that!

I was guessing that maybe it sounds like that because of the anti lag?

wastegates do not make noises. theres is no such thing as wastegate flutter, its an urban myth.

the noise would either be compressor surve which is the result of no bov or a tight bov. the air chops and collisions in the pipes, giving a flutter wooop woop woop noise.

the other noise is the wastegate screamer pipe setup, which instead of plumbing it back, it vents to atmosphere which gives a loud fart/scream noise once target boost is reached

my thoughts exactly, which is why i was puzzled when jeremy said wastegate..... he's supposed to know his stuff.....

soooo. what else could it be, cause i know it could be surge, but well, why would it be getting compressor surge, wouldnt that be a really bad idea... or is it part of the antilag system like i said?

Just means it isnt using a BOV, or if it is, one with a very high spring tension

fark th at sounds sick!!! i wanna know what BOV it is!

sounds a blocked bov? or a stock one running really high boost

i have a stock bov on my car and is going to run 16psi with my setup does this mean its going to leak and make the chopping sound or flutter sound if u want to call it that?

well that car is supposed to be 100% stock, although it's kind of a concept car....
