I think in your excitement, you confused the wastegate with the BOV. The sound you're looking for comes from the BOV venting intake pressure when the throttle plate closes. That nice big polished horn on the Raptor will give you what you want. The wastegate sits in the exhaust stream, and is open some amount anytime the turbo spools past the prescribed pressure (which is set by the wastegate itself unless you're using a boost controller). I personally feel that my car is loud enough under acceleration. I don't need the constant hiss of exhaust gas out of the wastegate everytime I get on it. That's just too much noise, and I don't need to be attracting local LEO any more than I already will be
