LSX time???

lol a boost variable exhaust cutout .


ive desinged vac operated cutouts to hold closed when seeing heavy vac loads during closed throttle . and it would open progressively as the vac dropped off to wide open when no vac is present .... still to undergo durabilty testing ...

or even more simple ... use the vac switches on your heater controls to open and close them ... stealthy !! sry for the off .
 
I've never been a big fan of dumped wastegates, it sounds like an obnoxious exhaust leak... way cleaner with it routed back into the DP!

It sounds like crap. Plus, when its routed back into the downpipe you tend to hear the high pitched whine of the turbo at full spool, which is way cooler than the leaking exhaust sound from open waste gate.

Maybe some of these guys are thinking of the sound a Blow-off valve makes and they don't realize that the blow-off valve and waste-gate are two different things????

Which is the one that routes the exhaust through the intercooler?
