Well i finally found out what that noise was from the video, I guess slowly over time my wastegate bolts has come a tiny bit lose causing air to leak out where the manifold and the wastegate meet. That nasty noise you heard was forced exhaust air squeezing through. Well now the gasket is totally gone and if you think it sounded bad then, you should hear it now, i sound like a Mack Truck. Anyways I"ll have it fixed and with the new injectors I have on the way, will probably shoot some vid's this weekend.

gotta love those star gaskets... j/k:thumb:
 
glad to hear it was something tiny. i heard the ssqv in the first video and it almost sounded like it was the bov fluttering while in neutral (would suggest bad bov) but due to the excellent build on the ssqv (hks parts rock) i was determined it was something else. unfortunately i don't know squat about the nt 420a hardly or there turbokits (that's what all the 2g wisemen are for :) )
