Will decreasing boost effect turbo chatter?
Having the car sorted after changing the turbo and found it was over-boosting...
Going to have it @ 1.2bar for safety - but since changing the turbo I got HUGE chatter and I love it
Will lowering the boost lower the chatter noise? Please say NO!

If your turbo is chattering in the "proper" way, less boost will reduce the amount you get. Less air being drawn through the turbo will mean less for the blades to chop up when the throttle shuts.
On the plus side, less boost will also mean less stress on the turbo's compressor wheel and bearings, and reduced magnitude pressure waves to buffet your MAF sensor (assuming your car has one).

what turbo did you go for?? do you have a fmic or a tmic and do you have an induction kit?? cheers tryig to get this already does it alittle with no wing resonator, and no recic/d.v

I am on a MAF so thats always good I guess.I just hope I still get some if not as loud as it was

Running an induction kit makes chatter, if it's happening, louder. The mouth of the IK tends to act like a megaphone and amplifies it. The standard tract (especially if the resonator is still on), is deliberately designed to reduce induction noise - and so it attenuates turbo chatter too.
Similarly fitting an FMIC won't, in itself, cause the noise (unless it is designed without a dumpvalve of course), but can make it louder due to the way the long metal pipe runs give space for the pressure waves to build up.
Mat: An aftermarket panel filter might give you a bit more volume, but if you've already removed the resonator, the difference is likely to be subtle rather than startling.
the resonator in the wing is gone. still got the one with the conection to the idle valve. people try to help, but fortunatly most are miss informed i get told all the time that my td05 cant handle the stalling=chatter. i have given the turbo no option but to stall thus chatter.
what do you think about removing the resonator with the idle control valve conection may fabricate my own. any diffrence and mabe silicone hose to turbo. my m8 had a silvia and alloy pipes and induction kit sorted that.
