opening wastegate sound how to fix that?

Post by johnmx3ze »

ok at first i liked the opening wastegate sound but now im gettin tired of it...

what the easiest way to not hear it as loud...?

i know i can recirculate it to the exhaust but is there an other way, maybe easier?

Your wastegate I guess could have a small muffler put on it but its probably easier to just recirculate it into the downpipe.

ok so i did the muffler mod/thing and it sound perfect i cant here the opening wastegate at all... the only problem is after 3 days of driving it untuned the lil muffler got full of junk and the W/G could not waste as good as its suposed too... so i was boosting 10 psi :S so i took it off... and i guess i'll have to get it recirculate in the exhaust...

+1 ! Sure it will get coated with blackness but there should be nothing to "fill" the muffler.
