That’s blow off valve my friend wastegate releases the excess pressure pre turbo mainly they’re put back into the exhaust which is a recirculating wastegate and you won’t hear much/if any noise from it but sometimes you have what’s called a screamer or dump pipe that dumps the air and makes the screaming sound on the other hand the blow off valve releases the air built up in the turbo when you come off throttle hence the chirping sounds sorry for the rant just trying to explain as simple and best I can

It's not the wastegate as that is exhaust side, the sound is from the compressor side and it's turbo flutter/surge, as he lifts off the throttle boost pressure is still high but flow into the engine is reduced so the surge happens.

The mic is definitely worth it, the other lap with the standard mic was mostly variations of whoosh sounds from the turbo or the wind. :P And it dang it looks so fast! no idea what speed it actually is, but it looks almost fast forwarded in places, and still a line of Porsches went by, makes ya realize just how quick those Porches go. Not that I should be shocked about it, the one time I got to visit the Nürburgring, we went to look at the track nearby the diner where you can turn off the track, the bit you always say to be careful in case of emergency vehicles pulling onto track there, and watching the corners there my heart was in my throat watching some of the Porsches as they entered corners at a speed that almost didn't make sense to my brain, and for some reason it was only the Porsches I reacted to with amazement at the speed. (I was there in 2016, so might have been different then which cars were popular on track.) Also, I feel almost every car you're driving recently is RHD, just how many Brits are over there with their cars? Soon you'll be so used to RHD you start messing up in LHD cars as you're not used to them. :P And I wonder how different the Ariel Atom V8 would be, is it slower due to weight despite more power? less agile? or is it a monster? I'd say hope someone brings one for you to test, but you seemed almost nervous about this one? Though maybe that could change with a mirror mod, to give more confidence in what's going on around you.
