NZ how you supporting it?

I've wondered why someone didn't do something like this sooner. . . A few guys just dump to atmosphere directly off the split aft of the wastegate, but I think that's a more elegant solution. So what if it adds another few pounds - ultimately I think it'll enhance rather than hinder performance.
You running a dual port Tial, right? So you'd get that nice crisp "bang" at shift time. . .

Its a ripping canvas sound come to think of it.

Nice NZ! I'm just going to dump mine under the car. If you want to know what it'll sound like, take youir catback off! Go for a quick spin, make sure you hit full boost! Its loud yes, and will scare little kids, dogs and old people.
Its a very hard sound to describe, but its awsome.

I only just realised it isn't intake it's bleeding, its exhaust so of course it's hot, sooty and noisy.
Maybe I'll give it a go with the elbow that connects to the exhaust pointing downward at the road to see what it sounds like and take it from there.

I have my WG dump to atm.
And yes "Its a ripping canvas sound come to think of it." On full boost and revs, that is about what it sounds like.
Even better when you are going by someone or something that allows the sound to bounce back into the cockpit
