Yep -- wastegate woosh and cha-cha-cha-cha when stepping out of the boost is louder, but not the BOV whistle (think need for speed during shifts

Literally, just removed the wastegate, flip it, and bolt it back on, then take care of the exhaust piece with a cap (or cut it out as I did).

this looks like the way the wastegate is installed on the sts camaro kit?? i just flipped my wast gate and just as i removed it a bit of water rushed out, seems like the condensation is pooling up when the wastegate is installed normal,i think BESERKER has a good tip.

front mount intercooler

Anybody have the STS front mount? It looks like alot of piping. Is it possible to go over the radiator straight into the throttle body? I just got an STS For my truck & will be towing often. I'm designing an intercooler kit that mounts in the grill as opposed to under the bumper. What are your intake temps at their highest point?
