The setup is good. I was runing 15 psi and that turbo kicks in real quick... Perfect for street use. My mechanic loves it, actually at first he thought the turbo was brand new because of the condition. The bad side to this story is that I had to get my engine torn apart because after the rebuild it kept leaking coolant from the overflow . But the turbo set up is great.

benefits of the cut out is just to not have the noise all the time. you can open and close it when you would like. but the vented wastegate does account for a good amount of power. i lost exactly 20whp at the same boost level from your kit to my current kit which has a re routed gate.

I'm gonna look into as well. My only concern with that is that it may be visible from a distance as the muffler may stick out at the bottom, but I'm sure there are ways of getting around that.
Thanks!
ok it's research time.... Not grasping how one goes about closing it.
Yeah i saw your thread where you compared dyno charts between your old set up and your new. Anyway enough about this don't want to derail your thread
great vids man! keep it up as I live vicariously through you guys ha ha

my buddy did have a vid of me and the viper. he didnt catch the run since he couldnt pull the camera in time. but here is a quick clip of us at the light after the run. we were going to possibly do a dig run but there was minmal room up front.

thanks for posting that! you made up my mind... I am plumbing it in! Seriously bro I have been wrestling with this decision for along time now.
Yes the vented wastegate yields a higher HP number within the last 500 RPMs, but it also yields less in the midrange. In other words the "area under the curve" remains about the same. It's something I didn't catch on your other thread until you overlapped them. As I used to think that it was a TOTAL loss in power through out the powerband, but I see that's not the case.
It's a no brainer now
