External Wastegate Question
I was just wondering what an external wastegate sounds like. Is it loud? Can you only hear it when you shift like a bov? Can you only hear it when the turbo is at max psi?

right as you hit full desired boost the gate will open causing your boost to stay at the desired level and not overboost. it sounds like you took your down pipe off and ran w/out it. it is loud but sounds great! ill get a clip/ movie and post it

External wastegate's are no louder than internal wastegates.
External dump wastegates are what make them louder.
And yes, it sounds like an open header.
Wastegates simply bleed boost off from the tract to the turbine wheel.

It doesnt really sound like an open exhaust. It makes much more of a loud pssshhht noise going constantly when at full boost. It is on the exhaust system, not the intake system. And no, if the wastegate is open your bov will not open (Or shouldnt at least ) It is just a really loud pssssht noise. Alot of people that dont know much think it is nitrous.
