Recirculated WasteGate vs Open WasteGate?
- Thread starter Boosted Supra
- Start date
here's a couple pictures of how I did mine, I made sure the dump is pointing down, this way the sound gets muffled by the ground 
For some reason my HKS 40mm wastegate is much louder than my Tial 44mm wastegate. The Tial has a little angle pushing slightly towards the back of the car, while the HKS is pointing straight to the gound.
With that said I want to route mine back into the exhaust, or put a muffler on it.

Yeah, any exhaust pointed directly at the ground will sound louder. All those sound waves are just bouncing off the ground and reverberating in the car.
This is funny: When I was racing you at the Pac NW meet, I heard a strange noise and I thought I might have broken my clutch or tranny. Turns out it was the sound of your wastegate muffled through my helmet and closed windows. I had never heard your WG before, so it took me till the end of the run to figure out what I was hearing. :biglaugh:jt2ma71;1377776 said:
I'm surprised no one has tried a small motorbike or lawnmower muffler!MRSUPRA;1377967 said:
My 44mm Tial recirc's at an angle into my 3.5" DP, I don't imagine I'm losing much power because of it.
Hmm, open wastegate with muffler? Kinda defeats the purpose of having it open, doesn't it?
Mine is quieter the way it is now than when it was dumping parallel to the DP.
