opening wastegate sound how to fix that?
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.johnmx3ze wrote:ok at first i liked the opening wastegate sound but now im gettin tired of it...

Re: opening wastegate sound how to fix that?

I had my greddy type s bov installed and it made NO NOISE at all o.0
I swapped it for a louder one LOL as I like scaring the little rivers driving around hehe

Re: opening wastegate sound how to fix that?
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.colinsmx3 wrote:What kind of "junk" is it getting full of would be my question....
