By 'wastegate chatter' do you mean compressor surge ? I.e. a slightly squeaky, stuttering sound on throttle lift ?!

Was the dump valve not very loud before then ?

What brand is the dump valve ?

got a picture of the turbo? it's pretty easy to distinguish a GT rollerbearing from ''T'' series

What you describe is compressor surge, not wastegate chatter. This points to the dump valve, not opening quick enough or at all. I'd check there !

?!

You've just solved the problem, and your asking for more solutions ?! Your dump valve is knackered !!

Oh, and compressor surge is not normal. It only happens when your dump valve isn't functioning correctly, has too stiff a spring or, is adjusted to cause compressor surge !

What air filter you use, has nothing to do with it, although an open cone type filter might not dampen the sound as much. Mine did it when I ran an Apexi cotton filter and does it more so now that I have a Blitz filter but, that's only because I've adjusted my SSQV to at higher boost levels !
The sound is intake charge being force back through the spinning compressor blades on the turbo.
