We don't have annual RWCs is WA. We only have to take a car for inspection if yellow stickered or registration lapses. As long as your car stays registered, you never have an inspection ...ever...

That's how things like this happen:

[StevenCJR31]

Looks like that car was stolen/dumped/set on fire

An inspection /rwc wont change that

In all seriousness OP, you were better off buying a stock standard R33 if you were new to turbos. As with any car, you're not just buying a car. You're also buying someone else's pproblem.

I was new to turbos at one stage and guess what? I brought a very close to stock R33 and built it up from there. I was new to V8s too at one stage and guess what? Yep, I brought a stock one and have begun building that up.

People might be saying "but if you buy a modded one, you end up saving money on not having to do those mods" and I agree 100% BUT ONLY if you know what you are doing/looking for. In your case, you were fresh to turbos and you essentially brought a lemon. I can guarantee you 99% of the SAU members on here would not of brought the car you did, based purely on the "mods" that are done to that car.

Knowing what I know about turbos and V8s now, I can confidently buy a heavily modded example and know what to look for and how to maintain it. Unfortunatly, you've thrown yourself in the deep end and your only choice now is to fix the previous owner's problems. Consider it a hard lesson learnt and more than likely you'll end up spending more than the car purcahse price to get it to a level that would be acceptable.

Anyway, back on topic. You'll need to get a pipe made up which will mate up to the ext. wastegate flange and have it welded back downstream into the rest of the exhaust. That will reduce a MASSIVE amount fo noise when you're on boost. If your wastegate is leaking and considering it is vernting directly to the atmosphere (or should I say engine bay), that could also contribute to the extra nosie when you're off boost. Otherwise, get some mufflers thrown in by an exhasut shop if you want it quieten it down.
