Pros... Faster spool more low end power
Cons... Failing emissions
Since when does it give you faster spool and low end power?
Today's lesson- don't do a full-boost pull with your modified car through a residential neighborhood.I have an atmospheric dump and the only thing i have gained from it is a bunch of pissed off neighbors, i realy regret putting it on my car its obnoxiously loud when the wastegate opens.
Today's lesson- don't do a full-boost pull with your modified car through a residential neighborhood.
Here's an interesting discovery....the higher the boost level you run, the less the wastegate will be open during daily driving. It's easy for a small turbo to make 10psi even when pulling out from a stoplight; if you have enough mods to allow a boost level over 20psi to be run, the chance you're going to hit 20psi and dump open exhaust is much slimmer.
If you were to look at any of the thousands of threads regarding an external wastegate dump on this site, you'll notice the majority of owner who complain about the noise are running near-stock cars and small turbos at low boost levels (i.e.- a 16G at 10psi).
Dumps are awesome. They sound gnarly but you have to be smart with anything. If you cruise around boosting all over the streets you will piss people off and eventually the cops will hear it and nail you.
