Hhaha.

Oh and I'm putting on my new downpipe. Was freaking the **** out cause it wasn't fitting. The damn bracket that fits onto the side of the bell housing is different on the 4eat. Nothing a hammer and a jammed thumb can't fix. I'll end up taking a dremel to it if it rattles. Other than that the fit is great!

Now my thumb really hurts. And waiting for the mailman to bring my remflex gasket so I can seal up the OEM pipe to the invidia.

Nothing fancy, just installed a Beat-Sonic Shark fin antenna. Radio quality has actually improved somehow, despite other reviews.

Back to stock!!!! At least as far as the exhaust and tune goes.
Completely unmarried and the car sounds and drives like new again.

Guys don't waste money on the crapsessport its maps unless you are using it to monitor or get a pro tune with it lol.

Im enjoying the slightly quieter exhaust note and no more turbo diesel /clicking noises lol. Definitely the divorced wastegatw giving that turbo whistle.

No I think it was waste gate flutter mixed with the sound of the turbo spooling louder. The ebcs is stock but I did replace the pill between it, waste gate actuator and compressor housing and it solved 90% of my boost spiking.
I'm much happier flashed back to stock and $600 in my pocket from selling the downpipe I just bought lol.
Now to put in my Perrin turbo inlet and a mishimoto silicone y pipe upgrade kit.
Staying stock until I can afford to port and polish everything on my damn car lol.

Adjust the wastegate actuator arm if you are getting clicking. Loosen the small lock but and tighten the arm 2 turns or until it goes away.

Was going to but that was only one of my problems.
I decided not to touch the wastegate arm due to not wanting to mess with the factory pretensioning when going back to stock.
It wasn't a clicking per say but more of an exhaust leak tapping/ hiss. (Clearly not the exhaust after putting stock do back on)
Decided to just swap pills as it was the easiest.
no more noises now I'm happily back to stock.

Spent too much money for my car to drive like such a piece of **** haha.
