Simple External wastegate mod / Tuning question
Hi, Ok basic question....I have a single turbo setup with external wastegate, ATM its plumbed back into the downpipe for sound suppression, but i would like it to be vented back to the atmosphere.
So, Question: If i Re-Mod the wastegate pipe back to venting to the atmosphere again would it effect my tune at all?
Im running a microtech LT-10S, boost is at 8-10psi right now. My guess is it probably wouldn't really effect the tune since the wastegate pipe is beyond the intake / turbo and all, but im defiantly not a expert when it comes to tuning, just wrenching, lol.
Cars getting tuned in mid spring but in the meantime i drive it once or twice a month for fun
If anyone could let me know that would be great. If it would effect the tune ill just have to wait a day before i bring it in and do it, but would be nice if i could drive around with a open gate again with no worries

Exhaust is full 80mm strait pipe to a huge steel wool packed greddy muffler --- for a bridgeport it is amazingly quiet once the turbo starts to spool
Personal preference, i love external wastegates, had them on my previous 3 cars (88 T2, 02 WRX STI, 1JZ FD3S)
Thats what the previous owners thoughts were too, lol. Then again he basically drove the car around bairly enough to break the engine in and then sold it to me

They were both loud and i loved it! I had racing beat exhausts on both those cars also so so quiet when cruising loud when i want, perfect for my taste.
FD is odd weekend / track car only so loudness isnt a problem since i hardly drive it.
