Default Dump value that doesn't woooshh

I'm looking for a dump valve for my MY07 WRX. Don't want a whoosh sounding one, looking for one that is waste gate chatter type noise?
Friend said a blitz one does that but I had a Blitz Super sound on my Sti and that whooshed ?
Any ideas anyone ?

Thanks

Can open! Worms everywhere..... Whilst remote wastegates arent silent, the noise that most people attribute to 'wastegate chatter' is actually the sound made by the turbocharger stalling. Vent to atmosphere air bypass valves make a noise, but its nothing like this. Most turbocharged competition engines dont have one of any description, in my experience.

Anti Lag will get you noises similar, though don't expect your turbo to last too long

Yes, no bypass valve and full-on AL will see it last about 3,000 miles!

Try a HKS Super SQV sequential blow off valve, had this on my old car, makes a nice rally style chirp when venting.

If such a pointless item is available; why? Why fit something that serves no purpose and makes a noise pretening to be something else?

My forge bov does a little chatter or flutter when shifting at around 3k-4.5k and a nice small woosh after that.
had the new type HKS and they dont make this noise, the older ones should do. the forge is much quieter than the hks ssqv

I wish I could describe the noise I'm looking for, its easy to describe a whoosh but a whistle that changes pitch is sort of what I want.

The whole "wategate chatter", "turbo stall" debate again!

Personally I think they are one and the same thing

Antilag will get you pops and bangs and not the so called waste gate chatter, surge, stall etc.

YouTube - Subaru impreza type RA antilag

Read this, the last section explains so called chatter:

The wastegate is what stops the turbo from commiting suicide (it allows the exhaust gases to bypass the turbo) and the dump valve is what relieves the pressure in the inlet when the throttle is closed.
