who thinks this theory works?



exhaust gas from the WG breaks up the whirl wind created from the turbine and helps force it thru the cat (resistance point) and it allows for better flow?


I did some test runs yesterday with a passenger, and we were both pretty impressed!! Unless my senses are thrown off by the ear piercing sound the WG dishes...seat of my pants, this car seems faster and pulls like a frieght train!!

Right now mines wide open and I do get some exhaust in the car. I need to plumb it out torwards the front wheel. But I'm going to leave it venting to the atmosphere for a bit.

I live in northern va (**** land) so there is no way I can leave it open... you can already hear my car a mile away with a straight through exhaust. I dont need a caravan of cops behind me running a vented wg.

On my WRX (I know it's totally different) I had a tial 46mm gate dumping straight out of the gate, no diverter tube or re-route.....it was so much fun. I got in the car after installing it, did a quick tune before driving, then ripped it through 4th. I heard that thing open, then realized that my new goal in life was to keep it open under WOT as often as I possibly could....it's more addictive than crack.

haha, well considering you guys run t88's on stock engine and can make 500whp without going insane built engines, you're definately right.

Mine was quick though

i have one, its 35mm and it sounds perfect, you cant really go past the noise of a 35mm gate venting out the drivers door (its a long vent pipe) so its awsome!

especially when your always sitting on the rev limiter
