Wastegate muffler

http://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Pors...A-951-WGM.html

Anyone ever go with something like this before? Only thing I found with google is trucks and Porsche using it. No issues with boost creep or anything either..

I don't wanna route my wg to the dp I did some googling and people have said it really affects performance.

Only other option I think is a lawn mower muffler

I have a TiAL 38mm

Reroute it into the down pipe, if the merge is done correctly there will be no issues. The issue will arise if the recirc tube is merged at a terrible angle and creates unwanted turbulence.

MAP Sells a recirc'd wastegate I think. ETS makes one also. I'd call ETS first and then if they can't help you, call MAP

This, unless you are seriously looking to experience the sound of a wastegate with a tiny muffler on it.

Otherwise I don't really see the point.

Where are you getting this information from? I strongly disagree. If done right, you won't see a difference in performance. The problem is people using off the shelf re-routed O2/downpipes. A properly routed recirculated setup doesn't create enough of a restriction to lse you power.

Good to know. I'm thinking of going recirculated with a T4 TS.

Really? I could have sworn they had a pic of one on their site before they updated it. I'm checking a few sites now.
