Does anyone have any video clips of the exhaust with the waste gate fliped? I have to keep the wife happy too. lol

 

Here's my truck on the dyno. I have no cats, no muffler and the WG is vented via a turn down. You can see where it vents and cleans off the dyno.

That sounds like an airplane, but the waste gate "bark" was very quick, and there was only one. Is this a side effect of flipping the gate?

 

Wilde, I see you have a BOV , this will also reduce noise from your wastegate as you probably already know. Mine makes a loud discharge noise (like a jet liner) under full acceleration but just driving around getting into boost a little bit it is a bit louder but like i said the bov helps to reduce the chatter and "relief" from the flipped wastegate. It might be in my head but i think the truck runs and sounds better.

 

Hmmm, sounds like the wife just might need to wear ear plugs from now on.

 

What you heard was the "angry turkey" noise from the compressor surging when I hit the freakin' speed limiter. Some of that noise can be attributed to the WG, but its mostly the compressor. Then right after that was the BOV, because I let off so quick because I thought it detonated.
