It's nowt to do with the wastegate so it's stupid calling as such.

 

There is a common myth in the automotive world about so called "wastegate chatter", a noise created on lifting off the throttle in a turbocharged car. The sound is commonly described as a chipmunk or a rattlesnake and is often stated incorrectly as being a result of the turbo's wastegate closing.

 

The noise is in fact the air compressed by the turbo passing back through the compressor housing of the turbo after having hit the now closed throttle plate.

 

A BOV (Blow Off Valve) will usually eliminate this noise, but in some cases, i.e. where the BOV doesn't open fast enough or is setup to only react to high boost, some chatter will remain.

 

The chatter noise is very noticable on WRC Rally cars, where no BOV is allowed.

Drifting goes back to the 50's GT cars and touring cars. The big jags could turn so they had to use the weight of the car. There has always been some form of 'racing drift' Then i guess in the 60's people used to show off in their Escorts and Cortinas doing controlled powerslides. In Japan in the late 80's people developed it, and then more recently its become a sport. Im a big fan of drifting, and a closet fan of the jap cars, but in no way did they 'invent' it, they merely took a 50 year old idea and developed it into something much bigger.

 

Im glad to see people are openning their eyes to other possibilities, instead of the countless S14's we get some Beemers and old skool fords :D
