the "." sound is caused by a linear vibration adjecent to the vertex of the coliosis ,which in turn pushes the thx equalizer into the manifold .
should be rather easy to find

The sound that a wastegate makes when it opens up is sorta like and open header sound. Its kinda cool at first but trust me it is not fun after a while.

At first i thought screwed up the install on my single turbo, but then relized it was the wastegate. ive learned to live with the noise, and ive also learned to live with the 400 horses that come along with it
