I know what it is, but how much exhaust actually goes out the wastegate? How much louder will it really be? especially around town driving?

I plan to run stock boost, or maybe less around town for gas mileage, so does tha tmean that more exhaust gets shoved out the wastegate? (of course it probably does)

Can I put a small glass-pack on the divorced wastegate to make it a little quieter, if it's too loud?

THANKS!!!

divorced waastegate? cmon man they can work it out, marriage takes work to keep it fresh.:pface

An external wastegate won't open under normal driving conditions, only if you romp on the gas. and in the upper gears on steady acceleration. Just run the pipe down to the street and wake up the neighbors!:flamer

that's what I needed to know, I just needed to know how the wastegate works, if it was on all the time, etc... I don't mind alot of noiise when I want it, as if my Kakimoto N1 isn't going to be loud enough, I'll just dump it out the side then, mmmm...more cool stuff to do to my car :) now I just need the cash for the engine, then my suspension, then some other stuff, THEN I can get into modding the ngine beyond stock :) lol!!

The sound of an open wastegate dumping is refreshing especially when you know you got the power and you are really moving:evilhaha.

Do you think you COULD kick Nagata-sans ***? I'd pay money to see that :)

I'm really liking the divorced wastegate idea, so I think that's a go in the future,

For an extremely handsome fee, i can make them have what us nissan boyz have. This swap and work is well over $8k! They can afford it, though.........You think how much money they spend on ricey lights, paint, tires and rims as well as music, they can have an SR20DET in their cars. Note: I mentioned nothing about out beloved CA18DET ( I could never give them that much of an advantage)

if we set up some rules like a shoestring budget and only using junkyard parts, yes I could.Basically a Wangun Junkyard Wars. He wouldn't stand a chance, he's grown soft in his beautiful fully stocked shop with bling bling budgets where as I have honed my skills to a razors edge in a junkyard skipping meals for gas money and making fast scrap.

and there are side by side, Nagata-san is pulling ahead but wait he had to slow down for the lefthander because his $1000.00 GT-R has a GTS-T wheel on the right front. mad is hoping the missing hood on his R will lower his charge temperature and the the one S14 turbo on his 26 will work sequentially with the one good R turbo on the straits. Oh my god! his gas tank fell ou!

hmmm...maybe we could propose something like this to Option Magazine, a team of crazy NICO members vs. Top-Secret Japan to a $3000 + the cost of car (max $1000) race. lol!!! That'd be hilarious :D

The funny part is I'm not joking. I routinely frustrate cars with tons of money thrown ito them with $2000.00 cobbled together cars, those guys hate me:pface There are guys that know so much more than me and I give them the respect they have earned but loudmouth chumps that just throw money at a shop to have their car "tuned" are fair game.
