Wastegate Poll

i personally like the open dump and how loud it is, but if you are against noise then re route it. its not like you hear it all day long or anything, only when you really get on it and hit maximum boost; which i would think at that point how loud you are shouldnt matter.

It'll start to crack before max boost, so if you run 12 you'll probably start to hear it around 6-8 PSI. I just think it sounds like sh!t, I do exhaust work so it just sounds like a huge horrible exhaust leak to me, Im not aganist noise, just sh!t that sounds bad. There are enough loud and crappy sounding imports on the road as it is.

I like to be able to hear my motor when I'm beating on my car, the best gauges you can have are your ears and eyes if you know what to look and listen for $.02. Turbo motors usually don't blow up while crusing.

I've run an open dump, and I've run recirc, I'll take recirc anyday. Open dump is just easier to do, your production tollerances can be less percise, it doesn't take any extra time, tools or skills to do an open dump, so you see open dump a lot more.

When I hit max boost, my car is actually quieter than at part throttle.

You said it best.

I'd take the sound of the turbo spooling over the sound of the wastegate dumping.
