you want an Uprated Intercooler if your increasing the boost :thumleft:

oh and Rev2 + Dump Valve dont mix, dont do it. I had one and it sounded great but you loose performance. I went back to the standard recirc dump valve and the response on gear change is very noticable, Stock recirc is the only way forward for Rev1 / 2's :thumleft:

As above, dump valve on a REV1/2 is a bit of a no no!

The boosting sounds right, the CT26 turbo you will have fitted does drop off boost a bit at the top of the rev range.
If you can't see the angle, you're in trouble.

You wont get any Wastegate chatter / sounds But depending on the air filter you will Get an Amazing Turbo Suction / spooling noise and you will be able to hear the stock recirc valve going off. :thumleft: . I have a HKS Mushroom filter and the sound is amazing from it
