well he alredy had to launch in 2nd gear when he had ~800 hp and got some good videos absolutley raping 'busas and tt vipers but after all the work he'll ride with me into hairpin turns in my z and i'll get more of a reaction from him then i give him when he goes ***** to the wall on the throttle!

 

So, what do wastegate dumps sound like exactly. I really want to build a TT C6 and was thinking about setting up my wastegate like that because I thought they would sould kind like a little bit of open headers or straight pipes or something very engine sounding. Y'all make it sound like it just sounds like a whole bunch of air, like if you opened a valve on a compressor tank or something. So, what Exact does it sound like?

 

youre second example, just sounds like a huge rush of air.

 

NO, open wastegates do not sound like just a bunch of air, like a valve opening like you mentioned. I would have to say it sounds more like an exhaust itself, then anything else. Think more like a small cc bike or something like that. I had an open wastegate on my 240sx and it was LOUD!

 

yeah its loud for sure, but it doesnt sound like exhaust to me, its like a huge rush of air, but its constant, it doesnt just go woosh and thats it, it does it for as long as its open, but it doesnt sound like an open exhaust to me. on this z06, it sounds like a very loud woosh, but the engine and turbos are so loud already.

 

Ya, thats the problem on this car. Everything else is so loud, that the Open wastegates are not really noticed. I believe this was already mentioned by the owner or the shop that worked on the car.

I really like open wastegates. They sound bad a**, but not sure if I would do it on my daily driver again.
