Chris Wilson Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 You mean an external wastegate that's NOT plumbed into dumping into the main exhaust system, but which dumps to atmo? My Skyline does that, as does a single turbo Supra I have in for work. Someone on one of the Skyline firums has a vid with sound of a Skyline with one. IMO they are dreadful, mines being plumbed back into the main pipe. No way would a dump to atmo pipe pass noise checks on track days and they are a police magnet, as well as being naff, IMO, on the road.

RobSheffield Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 what i want to know is this at TOTB there was a white 200SX owned by (according to Japanese performance magazine) Richie Beaumont. it had the massive rear wheels and drag tires, with the street front wheels and tires. when it did a burnout and released the throttle there was a sound like a multiple dump valve, only more high pitched. i was told it could have been an external wastegate. i have a couple of short videos if someone can host them for me. only about 10 MB in total cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
