need vented external wastegate clip
 

anyone have a sound clip of an external gate thats vented to the atmosphere instead of being plumbed back into the exhaust?

Sounds like a lawnmower.

what if its vented from the turbine relief hole instead of the mani/header... you'd hear more of the turbo than the valves/engine... right?

problem i face is im currently set up with all internal gate. ill be running 18-22 lbs of boost soon, so i doubt its a good idea to continue with the internal gate. however, i dont wanna have to buy another mani, so what i was gunna do is just get the 5-hole discharge flange with the relief hole already in it and weld 1.5" piping over that to the 38mm external gate. maybe bore the relief hole out a little. but since the gate would now be a lot bigger, i dont think boost creep would be as likely... id prefer to just leave the external gate vented (prob use a blow down tube to muffle it a little) instead of plumbing back into the exhaust. but i dont wanna do that if its gunna sound like open headers or anything. i only want to do it if you really only hear the turbo spooling.

comments, ideas, thoughts?
