Question on Wastegauge (new sounds since downpipe install)

this might sound stupid or not but i want to know rather then blew my turbo or other problems will come up.

i just want to know the pros and cons, recently i install Invidia catted dp on my car. mostly i been hearing the wasteguage, turbo spool up, and bov in the engine area. i been mostly hearing more then usual my wasteguage when first stepping on the gas pedal. i know this is normal it an bellmouth dp. thanks!!!

If your WASTEGATE is noisier it's probably just the dp. Do yourself a favor and make sure you get a decent tune.
