Would anyone be willing to take a video clip for me of their deltagate when its opened up under boost. I cannot seem to distinguish if the sound I am hearing is the deltagate opened up all the way or the lovely detonation.

Points shall be given, muha!

Someone please!

When in doubt it is detonation. ;)

I have a Deltagate, not installed yet, but unless it sounds completely unlike every other wastegate I've heard, when it is open it should just get louder without any abnormal pinging sounds, rattles, or bangs.

Thats the problem, I am yet to here another wastegate lol.
I am like the only turbo beast around here :)

When it opens, it's a very loud BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. If you aren't sure if you're hearing it, you're not. it's unmistakeably loud, especially at low boost.

LOL was just about to say it sounds like this:

BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

so if you hear that its your deltagate. I have a clip hosted somewhere but cant find it right now. Wait nm heres one of my first and last attempt at traying and yes i stalled it, the squeal is from the belt and yes i've fixed it lol you here it at 1:52 into the vid
